Legend and all round forum nice guy Dave "Dibbs" Dibble sadly passed away recently of a cardiac arrest at work.
My memory: Popping over to his house, where he kindly drilled some cleats out from my shoes.
RIP
🙁
That is sad.
May his family find some comfort, and may his memory be eternal.
🙁
Blimey. Wasn't he about to retire?
Sad news.
How sad, I didn't know him but often read his posts on here.
🙁 RIP
Sad news.
RIP.
That's sad, he's been around on here pretty much as long as I can remember 🙁
Blimey. Wasn't he about to retire?
Yes, about 22 days left I believe
RIP

Bugger. RIP Dibbs
Thats shit. Condolences to family and friends.
🙁 Oh no.
Dibbs from the Quantocks? Such sad news, RIP Dibbs.

[quote=cinnamon_girl ]Dibbs from the Quantocks? Such sad news, RIP Dibbs.
yep. that dibbs.
I'd known Dave for getting on for 20yrs. not well but well enough to be shocked and saddened. this and sudden death of charlie craig has really made me take a step back and consider the fragility of some of the things we all take for granted.
Indeed! I never (knowingly) met Dibbs.
I've pored over details of all the old posts that mention the Quantocks as part of last years quest to learn my way round every nook and cranny and he always had some helpful, oft witty input. Was hoping to say hi one day. RIP.
Dibbs Monday posts of Quantock adventures with great pics encouraged me to get over there. Hope there will be a ride out for him at some point.
I bumped in to him on the Quantocks once or twice over the years i've been riding there.
Very sad news. RIP
Hope there will be a ride out for him at some point.
That's a good idea. I'm afraid I didn't know him very well but have connections through my childrens' school and bumped into him now and again more recently.
There is a service on Wed - can send details if anyone PMs me.
RIP 😐
This was posted by another STWer in a theead a few months ago
Dibbs - thank you, had Garmins for years and never knew this! Have done my edge and Oregon!
You're one of the reasons STW is so good
RIP. ??
Thats awful.
Never met the man but seemed like one of the good guys and clearly loved riding (going by his Strava).
Condolences to his friends and family.
Never met him but he never came across badly on here, which given the length of time he's been posting, has to tell me the kind of bloke he was. RIP 🙁
Met Dibbs a couple of times on the Quantocks/Exmoor rides Sharki used to organise back in the day. Lovely bloke, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the area he was happy to share.
Yes, a ride out in his honour would be a great idea, taking in a few of his favourite spots. Lunch at Bicknoller Post?
May his trails be dusty and serene.
😥 sad news weekend
Very sad, my thoughts are with his freinds and family.
RIP Dibbs.
RIP Dibbs.
Dibbs was one of the crew that introduced me to the quantocks on those classic STW rides. RIP and happy trails Dibbs
Very sad. I also used some of his Quantocks advice when over that way.
Stand down Dibbs.
'Uncle' Dave has been a great friend for 25 years.
Put very simply, I almost certainly wouldn't lead the amazing life I do today if he hadn't been such an enthusiastic, patient and supportive influence on my life as a kid.
I'm going to miss him greatly.
We have the funeral today however there will be a ride in his memory organised too.
His son is also a mountain biker so he's keen to get something organised.
I will update this thread when the details are finalised.
Tragic news, been riding with him, Knottie, Sharki etc on the Quantocks - deepest sympathies to all that knew him.
Very sad news, always came across as a genuinely nice bloke, one of the good guys.
RIP Dibbs.
Aw, bollocks - just spotted this thread
Thoughts to all who knew & loved him
Never met Dibbs but I suspect he was one of the good guys
WTactualF!
Despite never meeting him, Dibbs looms large in my mind as one of the long standing STW south west chapter members.
I've pored over his generous and freely given route advice on many an occasion and I have him to thank for so many great rides on the 'Tocks.
You say Quantocks, I say Dibbs.
Especially galling after winning his recent battle with cancer.
Ride on Dibbs.
been here since the good old days.
RIP Dibbs
Happy Trails
RIP Dibbs
Apologies to Dibbs family - I have only just seen this. As someone has already said one of the good guys on here.
What a tragic loss for his family & all who knew him.
RIP Dibbs.
Ride In Peace Dibbs
Tragic, as so near to retirement.
I remember the 'Quantocks posts' well, with brilliant info and enthusiasm from Dibbs.
RIP Dibbs.
just seen this. very sorry to hear it. condolences to those who were close to him. rip.
Hope that those of you who loved Dibbs have a wonderful day.
