Interesting. Carla and I were going to do the last JT MTB festival
but
figured we would bag out... Just couldn't deal with another year of
camping in the rain! but we were thinking of doing a late summer
early
fall trip out that way...

We've been riding, getting back our riding legs...its been torturous, but

Too bad this is Dave Bucher's last year of running the festival, he used
to
organize a great show.


Well, maybe people can talk him into doing it at Tamaqua. Praise
someone long enough and they will succomb. I will not be able to go
this year, but if you get up there drop him hints that Tamaqua sure
would be a purdy place to hold a festival!

Either way, it's no reason not to organize your own gathering there.
There are still private campgrounds that don't charge much and allow
alchohol. We could even arrange an AMB-JT. I know some were interested
in having an MTBR gathering there as well.


We're not doing the festival this year. We were seriously considering it,
but decided not to go. We're not in any shape to be tackling those trails at
this point and its rained for the past 3-4 festivals...

We would definitely be interested in an AMB-JT (since we won't be able to
make it out west to AMB-ID this year). Memorial Day is a no good for us but
anytime after would be do-able.

OK. Sounds like a plan. Maybe in late September when the leaves are
changing. We can tack it onto our club camping/biking trip to JT. The
more, the merrier.

Nothing like being laid up awhile to make every ride sweet. Go slow, be
thankful, and enjoy the privilege.

Funny that you should mention him. I sent him an email today because I
hadn't heard from him in a while. Are you going to the NY Bike show? We'll
be attending on Saturday, are you going to be around?
