I'm assuming there's going to be a A.M-B presence and will
be participating as a US <-> DE representative. Let me
know if someone wants to meet up.

That's three, including you, Bran Schiele and me so far from
AM-B. We'll have to escape the crowd for at least one AM-B
representation ride.

JD off all weekend

Nobody heading down there from the northwest? My
birthday's on the 3rd, and it would make for a great
excuse for a road trip.

I always figure I might go and then I bail and decide to go
when there no festival and crowds.

I just might go, but then again...

I swamped all April and through the first two weekends of
May when I'll be working in Las Vegas. Wish it was closer to
my Vegas work trip.

A few Noo Yawkers from here are going to be there.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it.

I'd considered that but I have to be back in-country by the
1st of June. The festival gives my SO something to do while
I'm away on bike rides. I'm only in Colorado from 28 Apr-7
May and I thought being wasted from jet lag wouldn't appear
out-of-ordinary at the fest.

Other time will be spent in the Denver-Fort Collins area.
Anybody in those areas available for a ride? Any euro-trash
booze I haven't consumed at the FFTF can be used as
payment/ointment/disinfectant. I'm only bringing the high-
test white-lightning stuff as beer/wine doesn't have the
proper buzz-to-weight ratio.

I'll be there but it looks like my planned barleywine
ride will have to be changed to "insert locally available
dark beer of choice" ride since I'm going to be traveling
light and small with no room for 10 six packs of Bigfoot
this year.

I'm in the same situation. My beverage from o'er here will
be either Grappa or whatever I can drain and bottle from my
landlords collection.

I almost killed myself bringing a keg once. Never again.

We get Bigfoot here, I imagine in the metroplois of GJ it
would also be available.

Well maybe see you there. LMK if you find yourself in
Gunnison area.

BTW ratio is very important when traveling! That's why I
drink Kool-Aid, lemonade, or other powdered mix and
Everclear on longer backcountry treks. Best BTW for a USA-
legal intoxicant (I think LSD as the best ratio I know of,
but that can complicate things considerably).

I'll be there Friday early, count me in, JD you have my
email. It may be my first ride on the Salty since we just
got another 8" of snow here.

Maybe Friday is the day to do a little AM-B ride. I have
something out of the way in mind that is pretty damn cool.

I'll check with a few places this week, just to make sure.

Great. I arrive in CO on Wednesday and have exactly 1 day to
acclimitize to the altitude. No rest for those who live at
sea-level. My own damn fault...

Remember to tell who-ever's riding cleanup that if they see
me passed out on the side of the trail, kick me and point me
in the right direction.

On the other hand I just learned that if you see a sign that
says "726M NN", it means that your at 726 meters Near Null.
I'm assuming sea level's different from the Med, North Sea
and the Atlantic.

Friday works for me as it's the only day that I don't have
any firm plans.

Acclimatize to the altitude of Fruita?

3000+ is about 2000 feet more than I'm used too. Within
about 2 miles of my house are areas below sea level... My
normal riding area just about reaches 700 meters, if I climb
the sightseeing tower. I kept trying to get a job in the
Garmisch area, but they'd have nothing to do with me.
Bavaria sucks anyways with their lame-ass beer, fests,
weisswurst, Schweinhaxe, bratwursts, sauerbraten,
schnitzells, knodel with gravey, rotkohl... Oh well, the
local single track is verbotten there anyways.

Just by the time I get used to being in CO, I head back o-
er here...
