    Hi!

    I have enjoyed reading this site for a while now so I decided to say hi. I am a local rider in Foothill Ranch. I do mostly XC stuff. My daily rides are usually on Whiting STT Luge combo loop but ride all over Saddleback and Big Bear XC trails. I started riding mountain bikes up in the Bay Area (Los Gatos) in the early 90s and never stopped. I hope to go on some STR rides in the future and meet some more riders!

    See you on the trail,
    Scott VanDell

    Welcome to the most popular MtB site this side of.... well, welcome from the remaining 23 STR members! See you out there on the trails, I'll be the tall guy on the bright blue Knolly you pass while climbing STT or any other hill. Say hi as you go by!

    Oh right, I forgot. Thanks for the props Jim, I'll try again...(ahem)

    "Nice to meet you Scott and welcome aboard. I hope to run into you some time. I'm a tall dude on a bright blue Knolly. Good luck keeping up with me as I am a ridiculously gifted climbing machine, and even faster down hill..."

    Better?

    I'm not sandbagging, I speak the truth. For those who've ridden up a hill with me, I'm pretty slow. I only outclimb Donny and Bing. :wave:
    I might be able to take BtP, but he won't ride with me. #-o

    Hi Scott and welcome to the good-natured ribbing and smartassity that is STR. My original introduction stands.

    I see those segments! Carbonlegs is a great name as you are flying, haha.

    ScottV - Welcome to the site! Wave to me when you are passing me huffing and puffing going up Mustard at the same pace that the 60 year old woman's club is walking.
