Hi All, I've been lurking (kinda sinister, huh?) on this site for too long and finally decided to introduce myself... My name is Kevin, I'm 42 yrs old (am I really that old? Jeez...) and married with two kids. Like Keith B. (whom I don't know), I'm originally from England but have been Stateside for the last 16 years. We moved from Orange County to Phoenix about three years ago but are currently trying to move back (but having little luck selling our house ). Anyway, in the interim, we have rented an apartment in Aliso Viejo for the summer and will return to Arizona for the new school year in August (my daughter will be starting second grade, my son will be a pre-schooler); that is, unless we get an offer on the house :bang: Anyways, I've been riding about two years now and wished I'd gotten into mountain biking a lot earlier. I've been trying to make up for lost time though, riding about 3-4 times per week right now (mostly Aliso-Wood and Laguna Wilderness/El Moro so far but want to hit up the Santa Ana's soon). I would describe myself as an intermediate rider -- not the fastest but a decent climber and willing to throw myself at just about anything :drunk: I have to say that this site has a really good vibe with lots of mellow people. I hope to get to ride with some of you this summer and sink a few after-ride brews :beer: Look out for me riding a Patriot Blue Cannondale Prophet 1000. Cheers and thanks for listening to me drone on. Kevin.
Sweet another lefty! You should try the Fullerton Loop on Thursday evening. The group is lots of fun and its good networking too. :welcome::welcome:
You are originally from England??? What the Bloody Hell is going on here??? STR is being invaded by Brits! KeithB, The Lazy Brit, a third guy- and now Lefty Kev! Are you the 3rd "Member of the Empire" Keith has been talking about? Spotted dick, eel pie, sticky pudding, scones, evening tea, Guiness- Oh Man, we are in trouble! Anyway, :welcome: to our family.
What the Bloody Hell is going on here??? STR is being invaded by Brits! KeithB, The Lazy Brit, a third guy- and now Lefty Kev! Yeah, Dino, we may have lost the Revolutionary War but we've taken over in the end anyway:bang: I like all of the above except the jellied eels...nasty!
I am beginning to believe you!!! The Queen was here a few months ago!!! David Beckham is on his way. Posh Spice. Etc. Etc. Etc. I don't care how many people you send, I REFUSE to speak British!!! :lol:
Brits ain't so bad Yo Dino, have you ever done a count on how many geeks are on the site you might be surprised? :-k [edit]....Whoops I mean greeks :lol::lol:
Ohhhh- a knife wound to my heart!!! Thank God I still have my good looks, charm and remarkable bike skills to fall back on! :lol: God Belss AMERICA and God Bless The Iron Horse Bicycle Company! :bang:
Kev There is a small group of us hitting up aliso woods On Tuesday 19th evening after work... You are more then welcome... Some are coming down from the park and I will be starting at the church entrance if you are interested... :welcome:
Hmmmm.... I would seem to have one of those!!! :bang: Boats- Rather than being "publically" jealous over the fact you don't own a "Horse"---- let's try to stay focused on the fact STR is being invaded by British Hooligan's!!! Tea time... The Queen Mum..... Bloody Good..... Dry Humor..... Benny Hill........ We have to stop this before it gets worse! :lol: Any ideas?
Cheerio Kevin, Well the crown never had California. The Mexicans were the original owners of Cali and we are actually taken over. I can say that I am Mexican. Look forward to meeting you. You play any rugby?

I played a bit of Rugby back in high school but football (er, I mean soccer!) was always my preferred sport. I played a little cricket too; which is like baseball but more civilized (ha, ha!).

J Sims: I am going to Aliso today but will have to start my ride around 4pm or so...what time are you planning on being there? Our rides will probably overlap...
Like I keep telling you Dino - our covert operatives are everywhere. Although you like to think you run the USA its really us Brits and you're jsut puppets in our theatre of death and oil.
Apparently reminding them of what happens when you try to control a group of voilence loving, firearm owning Americans (Revolutionary War, War of 1812) and how their little island paradise would be speaking German right now if it weren't for us (WWI & II) isn't working... I say we re-do the Boston Tea Party, except this time we throw all of the Land Rovers (oops, owned by Ford) Jaguars (oops, Ford again) Aston Martins (Fords), Renaults (both of them), Fiats (if there are any), Triumphs (aka "wee little nutless Harleys") and copies of "The Full Monty" into the bay! He!! Yeah! Welcome to the revolution! So George W. was your country's idea? Not cool, man. Besides, at least over here the phrase "she's got him by the balls" doesn't mean she is going to rip them off and eat them... Speaking of which, Kevin, why is your nickname Lefty?
