[Closed] Do you ever think you might be seeing someone from STW?

I read the forums most days, but seldom post.

There's a guy I see on my commute quite often who I wondered if he was on here due to bikes he rides on his commute... and then I saw a photo of him from the Highland Trail 550, and subsequent posts from him, so that confirmed that.

Pretty sure I saw Northwind at the Falkirk Funduro back in November as well.

Somebody could make a set of STW Top Trumps. What should the categories be?

Niche/10
Gnarr/10
Style/10
Control/10
Damage/10
Aggression/10
Big Hitter/10
..?

Did our usual week in the Alps last year. There's a bar at the bottom of the lift where everyone congregates after the lift closes for a few post ride pints.
Every evening there was a large group of very loud blokes all in their 40s, boasting of their mincecoreness and generally being loud and annoying to everyone within earshot.
Even the waiter was punching the air with relief when they left!
I worked out from a few Alp related threads afterwards that a few of them were STWers...

I don't know about seeing but I suspect [in my work capacity] I probably talk to at least one STWer every day ๐Ÿ˜€

I know 4 or 5 people who come on here, and met Chips at Mountan Mayhem a few years ago. Being in the Peak District I've probably seen a few STW'ers on rides.
I can be recognised by my Singletrack bob hat ๐Ÿ˜€

[Just met LD out here in a chalet in Reberty and I believe DD was in another chalet nearby last week. Wasn't really where I expected to meet another STWer but I suspect the caricature of Audi/Orange/IT/30BMI is so far off the mark as to be non existant.

As has been said, folks off here are great in real life and it helped me as I put my back out on the first day so it gave my daughter someone else to ski with and good company in the evenings. Liking the idea of a 'whingr' app to see who is nearby ]

Sorry cannae do quotes properly. Also sorry to disappoint but I am a closet Audi driver but obviously not a stereotypical one!! Leffeboy, drop me an e-mail (in profile), I've got a wee video edit of some our fun! Great to meet you!

Got me thinking about [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/well-im-back-from-that-quantocks-ride ]That Quantocks Ride ages back[/url]

Somebody produced stickers - half of them had Tandemjeremy written on them, helpfully!

I've met a few I thought probably were but it doesn't come up in conversation really.

For a sign of some sort though may I suggest an stw cow bell strapped to your frame. This will have the dual benefit of masking the annoying rattle from our fives (tell me it's not just mine) and also if really annoying red sock ramblerists by simultaneously shattering the peace and removing the opportunity to yell "haven't you got a bell?!? It's the law!"

Otherwise may I suggest
