The Kingdom!

[Joseph Kopena]

Folks,

We've rented a house for the first two weeks of July in the Kingdom
Trails, Vermont [1], and everyone is invited!

Kingdom Trails is widely recognized one of the best mountain biking
destinations in the country. Trails tend toward flow rather than
technical, and there's a great mix for beginners to experts.

The surrounding area (East Burke, VT), also has plenty of beautiful
country side for road riding. Terrain is mostly rolling farmland,
with a few bigger climbs and small towns sprinkled around.

The goal is just to get people from all over to come hang out and ride
together. We expect groups of people will do road, MTB, and both.
It's not a formal camp or clinic and there's no set schedule, but we
look forward to veterans leading outings for newer riders and so on.

The house sleeps 18 and is going to run $15 per person per night.
Mountain biking requires a KTA pass, $15/day or $75/year, well worth
it for some of the best and most well maintained trails around.
Everyone will be largely on their own for breakfast and
lunch---ideally at a mid-ride general store!---but with (optional)
group dinners most evenings, subsidized by the conference and the
remainder covered by everyone chipping in.


If you are interested, you should fill out this form:

We're taking sign-ups until May 15, at which point we'll start
figuring out a schedule that accommodates everyone as best as possible
and taking deposits to secure places.

Get on it!

Just a quick reminder the we are still looking for people to come ride with Joe and I in the Kingdom this July.  The weekend of July 4th is booked but there are spots for before and after.  Please fill out the form before the 15th.

Those of you who have already filled out the form should be getting an email from me next week confirming a selection of dates.  I plan on emailing people from the same team together so that you can plan carpools.

We are working on confirming those who have already filled out the form (please check your inboxes for an email from me).  But don't despair.  There are still a bunch of spaces on every night except Friday, July 5th.  Four spots opened up for the 6th.  If you want those, fill out the form asap.  If you want other dates, please continue to fill out the form as we will take form submissions until the house is full and we've collected money from everyone.

The Kingdom is possibly my favorite place ever to ride bikes and it will be all the more fun with your closest ECCC friends.  If you miss the boat, the Burke Mountain Campground is also awesome but fills up fast for the holiday weekend so make those reservations soon as well.

ECCC and friends,

For all the last minute planners out there, we still have beds
available at the Kingdom for the upcoming ECCC extravaganza. There
are a ton of awesome people signed up, including a bunch of women,
planning on doing all of MTB, road, cyclocross, and ice cream riding.
But there's still at least two and usually just a few more spaces
available each night throughout the July 2--15 extravaganza.
Everybody should come, it's going to be super sweet. Email Caitlin at
caitlinj...@gmail.com (*) to sign up and get in on the action!
