It seems to have been awhile since my last site visit. Anyone game for a mini-meetup?

So it has been awhile since I have been to the website, hell I had forgotten about it until 10 minuites before I began writing this. After what I can imagine has been 12 months since my las visit I have to say one thing: Garreth, the points on the site are broken.
I have lost touch with many of you guys since my school and professional life has taken over, in addition to transferring Vulk to another server so that I could play with some rl friends when time permits. Damn do I miss you guys, especially those that left before I left and now see back on. Whenever I think about an awesome time playing WoW, Downfall is involved 99% of the time, but that has all fallen into "the good old days" of WoW. One of the reasons that I am writing this because I am planning on transferring my druid, Cizin, over to the realm on which Vulk now resides: Firetree.
Now we reach the main reason why I am writing this blog post: You know, I've never had the pleasure of attending one of the annual meetup that downfall holds, and I have only had the pleasure of meeting a select few of you in person (Garreth, Aidin, Grasen) but I do want to change that by possibly creating a mini-meetup. I want to see how many of you guys would be interested before I make this an official event.
In my efforts to get in shape, I have taken up something that I have always wanted to get into, cycling. I have found that I want to do some touring on a bike so for the past few months I have been planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons just south of there. Now, for me this would all be by bike from my abode in Colorado, roughly 1200 miles round trip and a little over 3 weeks in duration, but for you guys it could be as simple as driving there and only spending a couple days before returning home. In total I plan on spending a week camping out there and enjoying, well, everything. I'm sure I don't have to remind you guys on all the awesome stuff one can do out doors. Right now I am planning on reaching yellowstone by late May to mid June to give you guys a possible timeframe.
So who is interested? Hell, if anyone else is crazy enough we could meet up somewhere and ride there together.


Vulk, I'm going to be in
garreth — Thu, 02/23/2012 - 23:54Vulk, I'm going to be in Denver for DrupalCon 2012 from March 19th until March 24th. Got any time to hang out?
I don't have anything useful
cromi — Fri, 02/10/2012 - 11:49I don't have anything useful to say, doubt I'd even be able to think about a trip like that this summer anyways. Just saw this thread, think it's awesome when people get into journeys and fitness like this, and was curious what that trip looks like Vulk? I've become more interested in Cycling lately and that trip sounds fantastic (that and a trip through the Hiawatha trail), besides actually getting on my own bike at least 3 days a week now. I was curious as to what kind of bike you ride (or plan on riding) and what the training looks like for a trip of that magnitude.
I'd love a reason to go to
garreth — Wed, 12/14/2011 - 16:44I'd love a reason to go to Yellowstone next summer, man. Keep me posted.
That said, I'll be in Denver this Spring for a week. Guess who's getting a beer with me?
