Folks gather at the Kila Pub at the end of the ride on Sunday. It is totally informal, but nearly everyone stays for a couple hours. The pub grub is pretty good, the beer is cold. One last chance to enjoy the Cino tribe before heading off in our separate directions.

What time do folks typically arrive there? (barring crashes and disastrous mechanical breakdowns that is)

@northbend's description is even better. Holding his thumb and forefinger a couple of milllimeters apart, he told me "Symes Hot Springs is this close to being too skanky."
In other words, perfect for this ride.

Sunday is more relaxed and un-structured than Saturday even though the biggest effort of the weekend for most folks is '9 mile hill'.
Sleepy, a little tired, sore and stiff, folks kind of drift out of Hot Springs in the morning after breakfast in loose groups.

You will have made some new friends over the weekend.

Pranza (lunch) at the bottom of 9 mile hill: Some folks eat lightly and get an early start on the hill while other linger, putting off the effort the effort they know is ahead of them.
If you're nervous about the climb ahead don't drink any beer and get an early start.

Hopefully (as in most years) there will be a cold beer waiting for you at the top of the climb at Browns Meadow pass.

One of my goals as Director is to guarantee beer at the top of 9-mile hill - that’s a non-negotiable! One year I made it up there with nothing to greet me and I was very sad indeed.
I think it was Choke who brought martini-fixings last Cino - that was equally awesome!

We're checking in at Symes Friday 8/27...checking out Monday morning 8/30, I should have room for 2 other riders + their bikes if any need a lift to Kila Saturday morning. Leaving from Symes around 6:20 AM to ensure time to get bikes apart/loaded/unloaded & back together. Offer is for a direct ride from Hot Springs to Kila with no detours to Kalispel for food/coffee etc. My Stella in back with front wheel off
Ride to Kila offer
Looks like still room for 2 more bikes Plus 1 empty seat in front and 1 in back. Probably need to take off pedals also. I will bring a pedal wrench + some pads/blankets and we'll fit 3 bikes in one way or another. PM me if you have need. Don

I can also drive myself if others have no transport.. I am driving an audi A4 and plan on no rack for better mileage as I doing a bit longer trip and stopping several places in MT to visit my dad and brothers (in 3 different towns) so could probably fit my bike and one other.....
I am planning on bringing a selection of tools and my miscellaneous bits and pieces box
for veterans other than carrying 2 tubes and a patch kit any suggestions for other spares...tire or ???

I am also at Symes 27 to 29 monday check out. it would be good to share a ride if possible, fewer vehicles maybe meet up friday night and coordinate.

As far as tools go, bring whatever wrenches you need to tighten up stuff. Rosary beads wouldn't hurt
It's been well sagged in the past. In 2019 I had a double pinch flat on the descent after 9 mile hill. About the time I replaced the tubes, @Choke pulled up with a Silca floor pump and reinflated me. 2 minutes later @northbend had a double flat, again @Choke was there. I was able to catch Bob Freeman climbing up 9 mile hill as he was on the side of the road with a seized derailleur pulley, and another pickup had pulled over that happened to have some automatic transission fluid that was used to lubricate said pulley and get him back on the road.
A spare tire wouldn't be a bad idea, at least a boot kit, even if it's just the infamous dollar bill trick. Something happens and you're stuck on the side of the road, you'll have dozens of grizzly veterans who will pull over and either help you out or give you grief. Probably both.

Also staying at the Symes 3 nights. Coming from Portland, thinking flying is best, but rent cars are spendy and possibly scarce. Would then be at the mercy and be grateful for kindness of others for transpo back n forth.
Hmm, as for bike, choice between the 2 green bikes in the basement. 1. 1996 Riv All Rounder - is it to MTB like? 2. 1960's British bike - Wally Green, curtesy of Bisbee Bicycle Brothel.

The organizers were pretty tolerant in 2019, I don't think anyone got turned away for not meeting all the criteria and there was at least 1 young guy (at my age they're all young) riding an early StumpJumper, you just may not get the "CINO" stamp on your number tag. Don

Don't overthink the tools bit.
There is a magical mystery on Cino. Whatever you need will appear, magically when you need it.
The thing I really need is right around halfway up 9 mile hill. I'll need a second wind.

please tell me 9 mile hill is named because it starts at mile 9, not because it is 9 miles long.

I am going to make sure the shoes I wear are comfortable for walking in the event my triple front and mega range rear are not enough (really if training and weight loss between now and then are not enough)

I was making my way up, slowly, but getting there, on 47 inches when Matt (northbend) blew by me riding 51 inches. I know I'm old, fat and slow, but I just don't like the reminder.

Act now, and for 3 easy payments of $999/month I'll do a hidden e-bike conversion for Bike Forum members. If you want to scoot to the front of the line for a guar-an-teed finish pre-Cino, a very fair $499 add-on will get it done.
*Batteries not included.
