At least we have the memories and the friendships to remember. The group rides. The comraderie. Families grow, change, move away, until all we have is the memories of what once was. I will cherish my STR T-shirts and Jerseys forever, because they remind me of the awesome people who made this site great. I miss STR, California, and all of you. I hope you are all well. Stay thirsty, my friends.
When i first started MTB this is where i got so much info and hooked up on rides and trails Thursday nights at the Floop w/ Dino leading the group... Winter in Sedona with Dean... i never really got to know too many to well, work and single dad made it tough to get out This was a happening place... i ran across an old bookmark for it and clicked on it Have a GREAT RIDE !!!!
I still rock my STR jersey and I'm pretty sure old members see me around OC as I can see them reading the front. Miss the taco tuesday rides at peters/oaks/irp. Miss Liz's STR campout trips. I've seen some familiar STR faces on the trail from time to time. I think Gabe is one of them.. forgot a lot of names and usernames.
