Props to Dino, Its because of him and the STR stickerst that he hooked me up with at the Fully Loop, that I have joined a few weeks ago. After getting the sticker ("Business Cards") I was curious as to what the group was all about, and I have got to tell you.... I have had nothing but a warm reception from day 1 from all of you! I already have plans to ride with Dino on the Turnball soon... (I will bro!LOL!) and have found that BrewMaster lives just around the corner from me in Chino Hills!... gonna hook up with him soon too!

Its a lil tough not knowing to many of you, but the more I read, the more I learn how great you guys are!

Looking forward to meeting more of you soon.

Jim

Dino Brown · 10-15-2007, 06:47 PM

1) Check your PM

2) I noticed you are a definite MAYBE

for the Newbie Ride. For a guy who is looking forward to meeting people, it would seem to me a 70 person NEWBIE RIDE would be the easiest way to make that happen. Could be wrong!

3) Turnbull?

It doesn't exist!

JOx2 · 10-21-2007, 06:54 AM

You STR folks are awesome! Im glad i joined the newbie ride yesterday and Pato

made it possible for me.

Hope to join you guys for more next time.

Good_ol'_slappy · 10-22-2007, 06:28 PM

Nice post. I'm mostly a lurker on STR. Occasionally paths do cross...for example, I rode with your a$$ yesterday Dino!

STR is the latest of 5 local forum-based bike clubs that I have been on over the years. The cool part is that a couple of the fellas - Pain Freak and STJunkie - have been on my rides since my CA beginning 7 years ago.

But back to the OP, yeah I'll be here posting and riding with more of y'all.

bighit8 · 10-22-2007, 07:59 PM

I'm up for a turnbull ride. I have rode it 2x and want to explore it some more. I work in Rosemead 1 day a week, so its on my way home in Fullerton.I found out recently you cant do night rides in turnbull.Well anyhow if you can make it to Fullerton for a night ride cool. Im a mile away from the loop!

bighit8 · 10-22-2007, 08:27 PM

Dinno Dont worry I'm real ( if this post was directed at me). I just wanted to end the beef.Mark may be mad at me but friendship goes beyond petty arguments I hope. By the way take it easy on Ironhorse bikes. My first bike was an Ironhorse G-spot. I miss that bike! I think it had a manitou x-vert pro up front, and a 4 inch rockshox in the rear.

Maybe!

For those who don't know CH4os, HE IS THE MAN!!!
He can out-ride 99% of us while wearing sandals...
He can out-drink 99% of us....
He can out-smack-talk Dino Brown.....
What I am trying to say is- it's been a long time my friend???

You've become a lurker!

We need you to make an appearance at the HALLOWEEN FRED RIDE--- PLEASE

Halloween Newbie FRED Ride

BigHit- Check your PM!

Mudman · 10-26-2007, 12:31 AM

I like to go to rides and not introduce myself...

and everytime I go to a big ride.. a man in an Ironhorse shirt always appears.

P.S. I crash at almost every ride.

You might crash more than most people- you do it with style though!!!

I can think of one more thing you do ALMOST every ride- GO BIGGER than the rest of us.

Not bad for a new guy!

Mudman · 10-26-2007, 05:22 AM

haha Thanks!

Mountain biking has truly been an experience I can't describe in words- most certainly it has enriched my life.

riding and meeting with the wonderful people of STR has also been an honor in which I mean with the utmost sincerity.

bevaaler · 10-27-2007, 12:30 AM

just wanted to chirp in from Long Beach or should I say the LBC!! Yep, another rider from the LBC, born and raised, born at Long Beach Community Hospital. Still lurking, since I have not made a ride yet, but in my defense I just signed up on the web site tonight. : ) I hope to meet some STR riders soon.. So far this looks like a real good bunch of people, I must say.. Happy Trails and hopefully all the fires are extinguished real soon..

Dino Brown · 10-27-2007, 07:25 AM

BEVAALER-

Yuup, lots of STR peeps in the LBC. Group rides are the best way to meet people.

Hmm.. might be time to visit Del Cerro--

Want to join us?

bevaaler · 10-28-2007, 02:09 AM

Ya, I think making a ride at Del Cerro is possible for me, its the one in PV correct.. I rode there about 10 years ago at night, but have not been back since.. Well the back thing really killed my riding for the last 3 years.. Please keep me in the loop for any local rides, I would love to join if time permits. Thanks, E

RidetheRAAM4 · 10-28-2007, 09:49 AM

I used to post more but became a lurker. Too many posts to keep up with! I am also in a hard semester in school. Once this semester is over and I start my internship and have some more bling bling I can start riding again. Poor college student status SUCKS!!

Do Work · 11-01-2007, 12:29 PM

Just wanted to add my two cents to this interesting and very insightful thread...you guys (and gals) all seem very cool and this was a great thread for a newbie to the site to read!
Im pretty new to riding (only been at it for about 2 mos.) and all i can say about the sport is...where has it been all my life!!! I cant get enough of riding and the only thing i find better than heading out for a ride after work or first thing on the weekends is to do it with a friend.
Me n a group of friends started out riding at the same time and we would ride all the time but since then we have found it difficult to schedule group rides and will often find myself riding solo.
I met a real cool guy a week ago at Fullerton (Nomad) and we rode the trail together (he was on lap 2 and still kicked my butt). He turned me on to the site and so far its everything he talked it up to be.
I'm looking forward to getting out there and meeting more of the STR group and putting the days of riding solo behind me...thanks for the welcome and i hope not be too much of a lurker!

Millions · 11-01-2007, 02:28 PM

Just joined! Seems like a cool group, I haven't biked much lately due to lack of people to go with!

Plus, I'm just starting out and not very good...can anyone suggest any good place to practice near Tustin?

I sometimes go out to Peter's Canyon because it's not a very tough ride (well, for me it is!) and I'm not super intimidated by it.

I just bought a new Montague "Hummer" skinned paratrooper bike a few months ago. Reviews I read were pretty good and it folds in half so I can actually fit it in my car! No idea how to take care of it...any links or suggestions for some classes in the OC? Thanks!
