Who (on this Forum) have you ridden with?

[SoCalSteve]

I've had the great pleasure of riding with 5 people from the Forum.

1.) Tom Byrnes (a few times)
2.) BigMan (aka Henry) on Long Island, Palm Springs and Los Angeles
3.) petitelilpetite (aka James...ah, to be 20 and 6% body fat)
4.) mjbyl & girlfriend (Maarten has been a great customer of my "used" gear)
5.) Serotta Pete (last, but definetly not least)

I have seen Swoop race a couple of times and have met Jack Brunk, BlastinBob and Mavic 1010 (all on the same day, actually). Final leg of the TOC 2007 in Long Beach,CA.

Dirt.

[swoop]

i don't actually ride or own a bike...
i just slept at motel 6.

that's ok isn't it?

i ride weekly with cary ford. kurt is a local fixture and have heard him panting many a time (favorite kurt quote: 'oh fug, you guys are climbing this in the big ring?)', socal steve has seen two of the worst races i've ever done.. i crashed out of manhattan beach and my lead out sat up at the master crit at tour of cali... so not impressive.
i spun for five minutes with flux... so that's not really riding but the chamois time was excellent at neptunes net.
tom byrnes, and serotta pete .. i've seen and chatted up... but i couldn't pedal an inch for having had a long day already... i see mrs socalsteve (sherry) all the time.. but those are sightings rather than rides.

i had grant and stevep read my palms over a coke or beer at innerbike.
i've had sightings across four lanes of the fabled brunk but no actual contact.

i've done some races with someone from here but i can't remember his name and was embarrassed to death when he asked me if i was swoop because he obviously knows how bad i am and how idiotic i am on the bike.

A cast of thousands...

Well...I've attended many forum events...and a couple open houses, and I've ridden in those groups...I could even say I've ridden with Ben Serotta because we chatted for a bit on one of the rides...and Sandy too because he was there...but I'd say I've ridden with:


Pete M.
Tom B.
TT
Dave Kirk
Climb
Weisan
justinf
dbrk
Mavic1010 (who can sprint faster than me when chased by hounds...but didn't)
Ahneida

And Avispa and I have had flat tires at the same point in time on the same Finger Lakes ride.

Dinner with TT, manet, and coylifut *was* fun.

Don't know this member?

[saab2000]

Ginger, Too Tall, ZNFNDL, Flydhest. All very nice, knowledgeable, generous folks who also happen to be terrific riders and the real deal. They are cyclists who happen to do other things with their lives too.

A new outfit I hope ...

[shinomaster]

Has anyone ridden with Darren? I'm worried that when he and I ride next month he is going to tear my legs off. I haven't gone for a "ride" ride since my last "race" in December. Can he climb? Should I take him up a 1000 foot climb? Should I get him drunk first?

[BumbleBeeDave]

A new outfit I hope ...

Now I've also got the bike.

BBD

[Louis]

Oh Jeez, aren't there laws against this sort of public nuisance on the roadways?

I hope it's adequately documented so pictures can be posted here. (With appropriate XXX warnings of course, to keep the children away.)

What about me. The Northwest River Cluster F*** ride.


I rode with the folks at the 2006 Ramble and Saab.

Lifelover is correct!! I have ridden with him and his buddies in VA Beach.

BTW, I may find myself back there for two months. March and April I am based there and the commute from Michigan stinks. Looking for a room to rent for 2 months. Place to crash basically. I'll drive my car down with my sleeping back and Thermarest! :beer:

I have a couple buddies there. Anyway, expect to see me again for March and April. I'll probably hit Fat Frogs rides if I am around.

I would like to ride with Mr. Fixed. Learn a thing or two about life! And riding in South Florida. I wanna learn how that is done.

[Ray]

All of the DC folks and other east coasters at Smiley's in 2005 and 2006 and the fine folks from all over the place at the Ramble at Douglas's place in 2006. Lots of people, too many to mention, some who's forum names I never even quite matched up with their actual names.

Hopefully a bunch of the same and new folks at the Ramble this August. Internet forums are better when you've actually spent at least a little bit of time with the people involved. Seems more real.

Hi,

I've met:

Jack Brunk

I've probably raced with:

[saab2000]

I will ride with Viper. Long, hard rides in the rain. No helmets. In Wisconsin. In March/April. Maybe around Lake Winnebago. 100 miles or so. Maybe more. Pretty effin' cold coming up from Fond du Lac to Oshkosh and then even colder coming up from Oshkosh to Appleton.

But you know Sean Kelly would do it twice. So you have no choice. I wanna get my Serotta CSI up there for a Lake ride this spring. Wanna join me Mr. Viper?

I thought of you today. I trained on the treadmill until blood squirted from my nose. I smeared it onto the treadmill with my index finger and wrote, "SK wuz here atmo."

I'm training like a rabid Tiger shark. Sharks don't get cancer, but they do get rabies, maybe. This summer I will meet you for a Bike Marathon and we'll do this, here, except it won't be at 'Arnold's' drive-in, just you, me, Sean Kelly, three bikes, three combs and one stretcher. Fonzie will not be there to save you this time atmo: :D

i've ridden with "William, the conqueror of very intimidating dogs and really polite bike rider" (i think rt 102 in exeter?). i sing his praise as he put himself between me and one of the aforementioned (duh-the dog) without hesitation. he's a man's man, a cyclist's man, a family man, a dogs best friend and not necessarily in that order.

[Ozz]

I've only ridden with "gasman" and a guy who used to hang out here a couple years ago..."Indy Fab".

:beer:

[bigbill]

Dave Hickey in San Diego.
Len J, once in San Diego and again in Maryland.

Both were at gathering for another forum so maybe there are others who have different names on this site.

It is always fun to put faces with names.

[97CSI]

Ride with deanster in CO most every year. His turn to head east this year, as we are riding Bike VA in June. After the Finger Lakes Ramble, this list should expand by 50+, judging by the number of positive replies. http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=40557

I sold all of mine 15 years ago to buy a nice engagement ring. How whacked is that?

[Jeff Weir]

I've ridden with Kevan if you count passing him as riding with him. I've never ridden with DarrenCT but I once talked to him about bikes while we were standing in line at the liquor store. Does that count?

[ShockTreatment]

Zap, Zip, Znfdl

also

TT, Smiley, TimB

maybe others from DC?

[djg]

znfndl, tootall, flydhest ... smiley's crew a couple of times -- smiley, Sandy, RT (where's she gone?), and, er ... the Nottrot crowd, which included most of the above, plus Karen, bbdave, several Toms (Byrnes, Kellog showed up Saturday evening, another Tom, I think), Manet was there, Keno, KornJulio, Pete, I'm leaving folks out, I'm sure of it.

Sandy, Pbob
Smiley did a fitt'n - great job too!

I usually ride alone or with a kid in tow...but havent been out much since the birth of number2.

Fat daddy needs to become fit daddy - but the two year old just doesn't get that...and I suppose the 9 month old will be the same in a year so I guess it is just gonna have to wait a bit before I get a chance to ride with any more forumites - even with a lot of them close by...

The kids are worth it IMHO...so it can wait :D

I was on the same team as E-Richie and Peter W...CYBC. We rode together. Well, I
was a junior, and they kicked my lil' butt.

William, he would be on the big, bad, kick butt team.

As I type this stuff, I'm watching the late repeat of the TOC prolog. Nice.

[Blastinbob]

All those that "said" they rode with me, plus a bunch of others that won't admit it.

[Elefantino]

Daaaang. We really need to get you all down to Florida. We actually have fun on the flats. Really.

Anyone who did the following rides:

Last years saratoga rides
2005's Serotta Open House
Either of Smiley's Nottrott rides
Either of Spectrum Bob's Soup rides
e-richie on my fitting
2007 PMC Serotta team

I've also ridden with bigbill on a couple of RBR rides

Never rode with anyone from this board that I wouldn't ride with again.
