Default Thanks and hello!

Hi all,

I was the guy on the smurf blue Intense that went down near the beginning of the Fully Loop last night...stupid burping tire

That was my first ride with STR and really my first group ride in general. Just wanted to thank everybody for keeping the group together and watching out for traffic. Hope to make more STR rides in the future!

Welcome. Didn't get a chance to meet ya last night. I was sweeping again since Dino wasn't up to par . (JK)
We like to try and keep the ride tight, but when the group gets big like last night, it's tough for 1 guy to sweep. Dino was helping with mechanicals, so I took over. Good ride last night.

Trail Smurf, that was an impressive display of a controlled, off-camber, downhill, two-wheel mud drift!


I was ten yards away and enjoyed the show. How's the seat rail?

Yeah I seen you at the beginning, but I don't think I ever seen you again. Sorry about you getting "looped".

I got "looped" last night too-on my first Fully nite ride. I woke up this morning with a big knot and scratch on my shin and I dont know how it got there. The Loop really does demand payment for riding it. Great ride and I hope to get in on some more STR rides.

Ivan- I must agree with OTHRIDR! Your bicycle dismount last evening was quite imopressive! You crashed right in front of me! Did the tree root get you?

It was great meeting you last night. Looking forward to riding with you again real soon..... How 'bout Thursday?

I was running brand new tires apparently a little under inflated. I was turning hard at the bottom when I hit a rut/root/something that burped my tire and sent me down.

My seat rails are slightly smurfed up. I'll have to bend the back.

Thanks again!
