Love to ride!

Default Hi

I've been mountain biking in Orange County since 1995. I used to ride with my boyfriend and his buddies, but when we broke up in October I had to find other people to ride with.... Hate it when that happens! DOH!

I joined the Trail Angels in April and they've been great, just looking to broaden my horizons and meet more people through this community.

I'm recovering from a recent endo at El Moro, but I should be riding in about a week.

Looking forward to my first ride back!

Cheers!
Kathy

I guess I could have titled my introduction as "SINGLE!" but then everyone would have been asking me about my gear ratio for an SS (I ride a Specialized StumpJumper by the way -- and it's not a Single Speed!)

Glad you didn't jump on the bandwagon that everyone else jumped on as it passed by...

Hi Kathy, welcome to the Family. I've ridden with your group a few times, not sure if I've met you. Were you on the Ride of Silence?

I love that show! I love it when they interview the guy and Chris Hansen informs the guy did you know that she was 13? The guy replies back with ohhh well she told me she was 15 .

Talking Welcome, young female grasshopper...

Always a pleasure to welcome a female to the Tribe. I hope you can join us on one of our Newby rides (one's happening this Sat 8/25 at O'Neil Park). You'll meet a lot of really great people... and don't listen to what they say about Jose... He's a cool guy!
(Jose, you can send the $5 to me at home)...

See you soon!

I joined the TAs a while ago, but don't get out to their fun rides much work sucks

Hope to see you on the trails! If you don't get out for the Saturday ride, I usually do Monday morning rides (nice easy pace) around Whiting or so. Or, you'll have to look for another ride in here--these guys really are great (just watch out for ShinKen's j/k)

Yes. I was at the Ride of Silence. That was an incredible event. I didn't know Christy personally, but have become good friends w/ Deb, Ched, & Vickie who used to ride on Tuesdays regularly with her so it was important to be there for them.

As long as I don't hit my snooze button I'll be there for tomorrow's ride. Looking forward to it. I may have to bail out a bit early though since I have a prior committment at 11am.
