    If he knows how to get to half of those spots I saw in the youtube photo montage he's obviously one heck of a tour guide! LOTS of really beautiful spots and looks like epic riding.

    Thanks for filling me in. I kept seeing the littler banner guy :steppie: and thought it was some new bike lingo that I wasn't aware of.

    So, how did steppie get his own smiley anyway?

    Probably for being one of the nicest guys you'll meet on the trail.

    If you look at the upper corner of this STR page, you'll see an image of a guy wearing a set of 1986 shades. That's Steppie. And when you're that famous enough to have your mug at the top of STR, all kinds of fame and glory follow including becoming an icon.

    Only if your screen is big enough! It doesn't show up on my laptop at home.

    That's probably a resolution setting because I'm viewing this on a laptop with a 12" screen. Unless you have an extremely small laptop (and I thought this damn thing was small! - I'm talking about the laptop, damn it! :lol: )

    Can't help it. I'm addicted already. It's just too easy to have STR open on my 4th monitor.

    Really looking forward to tomorrow! First ride in many years. I get to ride a 2007 Kona CoilAir - Shuttling San Juan Trail...

    I'll be the guy in the vintage TLD helmet and vans tennis shoes wheezing down the trail.
