Some of you think you can fly the last few meters to the pub.

I thought it worth a try though.

Lol, it’s as curvaceous as me. 😉 The weirdest thing though is that I usually ride a ht from an uncommon manufacturer, suspect it must have been poorly hence the Summer bike.

that is the thing…. we are all lovely in real life 😀

Nope, I’m actually a total #### in real life 😛

Had quite a few stwers come up to me usually noticing a bike I used to ride a lot and post pics a lot on STW driving a noticeable van usually gives you away. Shame I have lost both 🙁

having actually met the junkyard in real life he is rather sweet really, I was very disappointed as Id got a body bag and shallow grave in woods ready and eveyfink 😀

Anyone sees this bike out and about:

Stop the rider and ask if it’s me. If it’s not, lamp him.

It’s a recent model frame with some nearly 10 year old kit on it including such antiques as a triple chainset, a USE Alien seatpost and Mono Mini brakes.

Re Junkyard he was indeed very kind, gave me a long lift back to where I was staying. A bit quickly mind 😉

On road I’m on a green Kona Zing carbon, you really don’t see many of them about. I could be pretty much anywhere in the country though near areas of Govt or IT industry 🙂

I walk my dog twice a day on the Quantocks, I quite often arrive at the car park and see people faffing with their bikes. I walk the dog for 20 minutes and arrive back at the car park only to see the same people still faffing.
Obviously STW’ers.

When I was the policeman in Glencoe I tracked down bullheart on his LEJOG (or JOGLE) to give him some cake.

I also got some for a bloke who was trying to ride the WHW overnight, but when he passed me at the ski centre he just ignored me so I ate it all.

And when TJ was having a wild camping trip down near Bridge of Orchy somewhere I took my dogs and for a nice surprise was going to quietly put them in his tent to keep him warm overnight, because he loves dogs, but I couldn’t find him.

EDIT – I once overtook that ^ red bike on a busy trail…

…that’s when the fight began.

I’ve been nearly spotted enough times in this thread to realise that I’ve succeeded in passing myself off as an annoying **** to the point that everyone thinks the first annoying **** they see is me.

A dubious badge of honour indeed.

We have all met fellow stw’ers, surely?
I have been accosted on the summit of Munro’s, parties, car parks and trail centres and with ‘are you matt_outandabout…?’…

Shame I have lost both

What happened to the bike?

We have all met fellow stw’ers, surely?

not knowingly, although I often see a badly dressed social misfit with an Audi and think they must be on STW…

I don’t think so. The only ***ish thing I can ever remember you doing was being a bit slow to realise how hilarious the constant no pudding refererences were, but you did in the end 🙂

flogged it!! it tried killing me several times in my new riding location it was ok to mince around Cannock Chase on 🙂

[Not a euphemism]I’ve been in Binners’ back room with Mrs Binners watching. [/Not a euphemism]

… 😯 . That Binners entered my back room just last week while the Mrs was at work….

I didn’t think we were supposed to acknowledge each other in the ‘real world’. Quoting from the forum rules:

The first rule of STW is you do not talk about STW
The second rule of STW is you do not talk about STW no running in the corridors
The third rule is – no diving, no bombing and no heavy petting.
The forth rule is if you meet Hora – don’t let him any more sugar.

I have met you all muhahahahaha.

I’ve been on a peaks pootle and didn’t realise Hora was there until everyone was waiting at a gate and we realised he was no longer with us.

I’ve got to say everyone I’ve met off here are ace.

saw Ronnie Pickering the other day….surely a STWer?

Who?

MidlandTrailquestGraham is one I’ve chatted to at events (where is he, incidentally?!). Bit awkward to be honest, he’s not that chatty IRL, or wasn’t to me at least.

Damn right. I said change the route but the ride was destined to go to cutgate in hurricane winds on exposed wet terrain 😆 so I went the wooded route.

Everyone I’ve met off here has been lovely. I still remember robdob doing the handbrake turn and mounting the he kerb on his jackpoints in the carpark 😀

I do,every time I visit my dentist,GP or Lawyer.
And also whenever I see an advert for expensive and hardly-used Golf Clubs for sale

Is it time for the full Matt_oab story again?

I met a couple of people from here riding with the Rough Riders when I was briefly living in Dorset.

I met a man at a hotel bar in Vegas who noticed I was reading STW and introduced himself. I was a bit drunk and nervous and have forgotten who he was.

I’ve met a handful after arranging rides but only one accidentally and I didn’t know he was on stw ’til well afterwards

Is it time for the full Matt_oab story again

Go on…

Thought this before…

THE SINGLETRACK SHOP SHOULD SELL SMALL LOGO STICKERS FOR HELMETS!

They could even send them out with subscriptions?

I drunkenly introduced myself to allthegear in a bar in Morzine.

I had to go to a Ciclo week to meet fellow stw’ers. Although used to ride with Alex and NickC when they were chilternites for my sins…..

From memory, I’ve met:

NickC
Maccruiskeen
Fieldy
Gofasterstripes
Binners

All have been thoroughly lovely, polite and generous people.

I’ve also have ‘conversations’ with many others. All of which have been very pleasant.

So it must just be the rest of you that are w*nkers 😀

ht orange on-one at Bristol bike fest and said ‘Hi! I recognise you from STW’, but he looked at me like I’d just wiped my arse on his trousers whilst he was wearing them and grunted at me.

Lucky escape. I got a whole hour of why everything on my bike was set up wrong and how I should be raising my kids. 😐

I met a man at a hotel bar in Vegas who noticed I was reading STW and introduced himself. I was a bit drunk and nervous and have forgotten who he was.

You promised you’d call.

I hate you.

I’m pretty sure I surfed past surf-mat once.

A stw member pointed out Njee to me once ,on top of Leith Hill.
He’s very dishy. 😉

And where do I sign for the “whinger”forum?

🙂

Must have met others, but yes met Legolam on Blanchland moor

My brother lives in Manchester and bought some Audi roof bars from Ebay.
The seller lived about 10 miles from my work so I picked them up.
When he opened up his lock up and there were 5 bikes inside , including a couple of Cotic’s I said ‘ Whats your STW forum name then ?’ ‘Oh its AndysBlackShed’ I think he said. Nice bloke actualy , knew a few Soton forumites as well.

I know alot of people on here, and Im not even a big hitter

I’ve met a few locals, Jam Bo, Yunki, Agency Scum and others, mostly through classifieds deals or replies for WTDs or at local races, have probably ridden with loads more at races and not known it…
Oh and Eviljoe gave me my first tour of Lustleigh after a call for help on here.

Everyone’s always great in person 🙂

I had the excitement of passing Hora going the other way near South Head a few years ago. The extent of our conversation was “Are you Hora?” and “Yes”. Still it was good to see Singletrack royalty out on the trails.

have forgotten who he was.

You promised you’d call.

Obviously overdid the rohypnol flash

Still it was good to see Singletrack royalty out on the trails.

Queen?

Tomtomr you and I were going quite quick in opposite directions!
