It’s like working (or being) in the Bike Chain back in the day. “see her there…”

no as I dont know him but have met you

igm, you’ve met Junkyard, he’s met me, I’ve met Matt. That’s only 3 degrees of separation.

I don’t know MattOAB but I have met him!

Think it was Stanage causeway I was going down it as he was going up, IIRC he was not in a good mood as there were no trains back to Sheffield and they had planned on a ride out train back sort of trip.

This was probably 9 years ago?

I met matt at drumlanrig on a stw ride I organised. Wasn’t a party, did I miss out ? 😀

Then again, I rode with scotroutes 2 weeks later, so all was not lost… 🙂

I’ve been to two parties with Matt, his 40th and mine. Do I win?

This is like the modern forum forum equivalent of folks who may have met the legendary attention vortex of tollah. 😀

Maybe all the people who have met Matt_oab should all get T-shirts and form an internet forum for like minded people.

I met Matt once at Comrie, I was there with Onion and househusband, we had camped and had a fire. Is this STW enough yet? Hip flasks may have been passed around too but I think it was before the Aeropress.

Matt(puts it) out and about…

Did you leave before or after the hole in the wall incident?

For the record I correctly ID’d Moab’s bike in a carpark before outing him!

It was Matt trousers who my ex-gf had her hands down, this may or may not be true.

I had to go up to a man in lycra and ask if he was “old and past it”. Luckily he was, but he was still faster than me 🙁

Matt is omni present in all parts of the southern Highlands . Like a welcoming party host.

The Bike Chain was STW’s portal into the real world.

A lot of my “biking buddies” we’re met on biking forums. Worryingly, the majority were via bikemagic.com…
:/

I think thats the first time you’ve referred to me in a word of more than four letters.

Assuming Mark was the Gatekeeper, that would make me the Keymaster

Although……

“You come across as much older (and bitter) on the forum”

Do you know Mr_oab as well?

In a related…

A new neighbor was in our lounge in Sheffield, and commented that the lady in a wedding pic on the wall was familiar… Turns out he was at school in India with my sister.. Even better, his parents were the house parents at the International school – and a picture of my grandparents was on the wall in the office as they had been first ever house parents at the school in the ’60s. Clearly the clan_oab have international status as ‘everyone knows’….

I once rode with several stwers. One being ‘big and daft’, he was a true gent when I rushed over and said “ah you’re big and daft”. 🙂
