    After reading your post, I decided I shouldn't be a lurker anymore. I signed up tonight, thanks for the advice.
    Cheers-Tommy:beer:

    I usually like to lurk, but I've broken a lot of bad habits lately so here I am. I met a few of you guys last week at Hero's after doing the Fullerton Loop. If you don't yet know who I am. I was the one puking in the bushes at the first hill.... #-o

    So yea, a great time was had once I realized that I wasn't 10 years younger anymore. However in recent news I went to Peter's Canyon today with Zach and Danny (don't know their screen names on here yet) today and was able to climb a few hills! :bang:

    Anyways, I hope to see you guys again this Sunday for another attempt, hopefully with less puke.

    Anyone here live in or near Tustin Ranch? I'm a lurker... I like to go on post-work rides from my house (near Tustin Ranch/Bryan) up to Peters Canyon and back. I see other riders out there usually... are any of them you? :)

    Only better, no one gets mad if you sing too loud, or laugh at the wrong time or wear the wrong thing (well maybe dirtmistriss) most people are not here for fashion.

    Lurk'n from the Pacific

    I've been lurking since February. This site is the best place for me to get MTB fill while I'm out to sea. It's motivated me to start riding again. So far this cruise I've ridden in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Guam and the next stop is Hawaii. Looking forward to doing the Fully Loop Tea Party when I get back.

    Unfortunetly I'm a LURKER.
    I'm very jealous of the STR community. I'm up in Nor-Cal and the area I'm in does not have a tight nit group like this. I love this site, and the love people have for our culture. You know you are a bike nut when your wife buys your daughter a bike as a birthday present for you.

    Get out there and ride!

    Yeah, I'm tired of lurking. I'm taking the gloves off now and I'm going to really start posting.
