Err- hello Pete, remember me, the bloke with the pub down the road where we drank ALL their beer one night, the bloke who met you at the Beast...

Although TBH we did meet elsewhere first.

Hijack

FWIW, investigating goldfish with the laparoscope is a massive hit in school. I now have crabs! in my tropical tank. You should hear the kids scream when one hoves into view!

When you get chatting with other 'random' bikers, don't you want to you ask if they 'singletrackworld'? In fact, do you?

I assume every MTBer is on STW and when an MTB course tutor asked 'Whats Singletrackworld?' a couple of years ago I was stunned, and couldn't even detect any irony...

Met loads who I'm now good friends with and met many on here in stealth mode who I have no idea who they were and they had no idea who I was. Not deliberate of course just the topic never got around to forum names.

I love meeting people off here and have made some good friends as a result.

Saturday's ride was a particular highlight

Jimmy
I felt like that, but you soon realise that in the grand scheme of things the STW is a very small one.
Though the introduction many years ago of wearing red carnations has helped imensely.

In the pic above, just after that was taken we started talking about who we'd met and I pointed out that Hora reminded me very much of SFB: a complete cock on the forum, but actually quite a nice guy in person 😉

Hora seemed somewhat distressed and flattered at the same time. I'm not sure which bit had which effect !

I didn't actually realise that was Hora as he was nothing like I was expecting. He surprised me in a good way.

What never ceases to amaze me is that the most vocal/aggressive/argumentative (delete as appropriate) people on here can be so nice 😯

Of course I would not go so far as to name names [s]but genuinely hope that I might be included in this observation[/s]

Who you calling Argumentative? 😉

Met many people from here now, and the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is just how small a world it is... For instance, got chatting to Bananaworld off here at the last mass Swinley meet... Wasn't sure but something about his face looked vaguely like I recognised him from a dim and distant past... Sure enough, he was in the year below me at school!

I've not met anyone that I didn't like. Even people who Ive had a disagreement with 'online'.

The scary thing is I've found we have alot of shared values/other things in common.

Mister P - I was quiet on Sat? 😯

You missed me mentioning the text that I sent saying I wanted to bum my boss? 🙄 😆

LOL

In that case I'm very honoured you didn't forget me the other week after a mere 4 1/2 years since the last time we met...

What does that say about me though? 😉

She is actually good looking but Ive worked with her so long that I don't see her for just her looks.

I am also a married man. Still you are allowed to enter the art gallery, admire the beauty whilst adhering to the 'do not touch the display' signs 8)

Has anybody ever met Captain Flashheart? He seems a perfect web-based creature, I wonder what he's like in real-life situations. Does he ask the butler to fix a puncture? 😉

We have had fun over the past Summer on Ambrose Adventures PLC tours, usually involves river crossings, rock climbs, pot-holing, wildlife, an odd bothie now and again and without doubt an alcoholic beverage with pig nuts 😀 fliipn fantastic!!

Hope to hook up with all you Swansea valley boys again very soon 😉

Met a few - muffin-man who's a sound bloke

Rob (another sound chap), Luke (RolfHarris) & Farley plus maybe one or two others.

All decent blokes - still see a fair bit of Rob, when we both get round to getting our arses out riding.

Has anybody ever met Captain Flashheart?

Apparently he frequents my LBS, so I might have seen him. Like you, I am convinced that he is purely digital in nature, some kind of posh bot inhabiting the net.

I've loved all the forum rides, but I'm convinced loads of people are on their best behaviour. I crashed into someone once through idiocy and got no abuse at all 🙂 A normal riding mate would've called me a ****, and rightly so.

I've met probably around 40 odd people from here and everyone of the riders I have met from here have been great. Would happily share a beer or two with them.

I don't think I've met anyone on this forum despite having loads of riders living locally. Not sure if I've seen CG at Swinley or whether it was just a female rider!
