AZ rider gives thanks for Fully & STR hospitality

[DesertRatPat]

I am from AZ but was in Fountain Valley a couple of weeks ago for work and was smart enough to bring my bike and fortunate enough to get connected with mountainbikefred. I want to thank Fred, Dino and Donny and really the whole STR/Fullerton gang for treating an out of towner like a local! I had a damn good time on the ride and enjoyed the "tea party" after at Roscoe's.
You all are a credit to the Mountain Biking community.
I will look forward to future trips to Cailifornia so I can ride with my new friends in S.T.R
Again, many thanks to everyone who treated me well (that would be all the people on the Fully ride two thursdays ago)

Good stuff, I did not met you, maybe next time. Many of us come out to your neck of the woods often, well your neck of the desert...excellent rides on world class trails. Me I have family in AZ so I try to get out there every couple of months.

Pat, it was great meeting you that Thursday at the loop! Hope to see you again on an another STR ride when you're back in So Cal!

Thanks Dean,
It is getting Veeeerry hot (forecast 108 today) so we are going into night ride mode, if you get out here this summer the Mcdowell Mountain Park service puts on a sweet night ride about the middle of the month on the Pemberton trail. (Large park in the Desert outside of Fountain Hills, tons-otrails of varying terrain)
We did the first one this past Saturday and it was a good time.
Let me know if you are ever in town and need anything.

Thanks, I will make it a priority to find the person who calls himself the "Brewmaster" this is a guy I will get along with!
If you get to Phoenix let me know...many the small brewery....good trails and good beer, not a bad state to have to your Southeast.....

good stuff. think i met you on a taco tuesday ride. Stay cool in AZ and there is always a few trips made from STR to AZ for some riding so perhaps an opportunity for you to show a few of us your local dirt.
