Anyone from the Mid-Atlantic area or N.E. heading up for this? I am planning on going and would caravan with anyone along the east coast areas. I am coming from Central PA (State College, PA) and would meet up with anyone along the way. I don't need an excuse to head to Vermont as I am sure we will be taking our mt. bikes with us and doing a little XC and downhilling at Killington as well. And there are some great breweries in the area as well. Not a bad place to hang out for the weekend and play around with the Rovers either. Email me or post here if interested.

I am sure the ROVERS people are going up and you could caravan with some of them. Check in with Tom Bache his contact info is on the www.roverfest.com site.

Will be leaving from western, central ct late fri morn or early afternoon...depending on my 1.5 yr. old daughter's schedule of course. Then meeting people in Hartford and heading up from there.

From what I hear, There's going to be even more people going this year...and I thought last year's attendance was huge??!!

By Garrett Porterfield (Garrett) on Friday, June 29, 2001 - 06:14 am: Edit

I will try and get a group of folks in the PA area to caravan up and maybe we can hook up with you folks on the way there. Pretty short drive for you guys. Just taking 91 up to Vermont then 103 to 100 or go up to White River and take 4 west. Either way we will see ya'll up there. Epsom green (along with 10,000 others) SE7 with Son Volt sticker on back, Firestik antenna in rear bumper and Trek 7000 & Cannondale mt. bikes on top........and of course the soon to be installed DiscoWeb stickers. Will post message closer to date.

The deadline for early registration is July 15. You will save $20 by registering early. If you are planning on going, do the organizers a favor and preregister, so that they can have as accurate an account as possible on how many to expect. They can then plan accourdingly, and make sure there are enough people on hand to lead trailruns etc. The event will be more enjoyable for everyone that way.

When it's somewhat closer to the West Coast...

Until our mighty midget is a bit older, I don't think I'm up to hauling him or his mother cross country.

Wish I could.... :-(

Pretty certain I am going. I live in State College, PA and will leave early on Friday I am guessing. Taking the dogs and mt. bikes with us I am assuming. Some real nice XC and downhill mt.biking stuff there at Killington too. As well as a real nice brewery just east down route 4. ahhhhh Long Trail Ale. And oh yeah......all the Rovers that will be there too.

By Ron on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 08:49 am: Edit

I spoke to Tom Bache a few weeks back and he said he was planning on going.

By Bill Bettridge (Billb) on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 10:21 am: Edit

Tom went to Europe for awhile, so wasn't sure if he could still take more time again so soon.

I know this has been mentioned a few times, but who from the tri-state area is going? I am planning on attending, and will be coming from Long Island, New York on Friday morning. Is anyone else heading up on Friday? Are you interested in caravaning?
