TBF First Timer - So Many Questions!

[Em_Mike]

Thanks for all of the information folks! Much appreciated.

We live in Denver and camp up at Alta Lakes in T-ride every October, so we're used to the cold nights.

Based off of y'alls info regarding bikes, we'll probably bring them but not bike to from the actual festy grounds. That being said, do y'all know of any good trails close to Mary E. for beginner mountain bikers? My boyfriend is a gnarly rider but I'm making him stick around with me for the weekend and he can over estimate my skill level. Any trail tips welcome!

Thanks again!

I sent you a message. And we should go biking together. By the time we get closer I'll have maps of all the local trails, and we are also in Ilium!

Hi folks,  we will be camped at Mary E. with mountain bikes as well - we're headed to the festival during a 5 week mountain bike trip (from Australia!).  We'll be keen to ride as well.

We ordered a great map of the surrounding area from Trails Illustrated and plan on doing lots of riding, including a day or two we ride from Mary Ilium to the festival main stage and back. We'll be getting there Saturday, but probably won't ride till Monday.

C'mon BillyB, most are aware that not just anyone can pack a foot slave, AND tote one to T'ride, alive, like Hippie Jerry can. Only the most experienced of Festivarian have ever accomplished it. We commoners must go on the late night hunts,  into the darkest shadows,  with no flashlight,  because the fancy flame scares the ever elusive foot slave deeper under the covers.

Nowhere in that list did I see a gorilla suit or a pirate costume...

Where are the beach balls and the Hula skirts? There isn't even a chicken costume....seriously, seriously underprepared.....

[swander99]

I can't go to Tropical Tuesdays anymore, thanks to a gorilla that appeared right out nowhere... I would like more , but he ain't coming?

[ToddG]

Clothing list wasn't included, but our costumes are more in the elf, wizard, fairy, jedi realm than the chicken, pirate, gorilla fair. Figured yall had the gorillas, and pirates covered!
