I know who I don't know if that helps.

I have also been waiting for someone from here to get in touch with me since February but that is another story

I know quite a few and have actually met them in person! 😯
What's more I've actually ridden a bicycle with them!

What's this all about then? This thread, I mean.

EDIT - Some of them are even big hitters too.

I once (mistakenly) mentioned to a random fellow biker the words "single track" at that point he pedalled off sharply!!! 🙄

Many years ago I posted a few pictures of my bike on here. It was quite unique I suppose as I got a fair few people stopping me to say "you must be muggomagic" it was quite nice like when you walk into a pub and they say "the usual?" I felt like I'd finally arrived.

I've been lucky enough to be shown round quite a few "local trails for local people" by members of STW.

I've also been unlucky enough to ride with some members of STW on a regular basis. 😛

I've met loads of folks of here and nearly everyone is lovely. There are a couple of tits, but you can't expect to get on with everyone just because we all ride bikes. 😀

Yes, met and ridden with quite a few current and ex sTWers. Amazingly low percentage of 'merchant bankers'.... 😀

wow met/ridden with all the posters on this page so far and even the one name checked. I even know who the person is who he shared a tent with
All met via STW ..I feel like an A list hanger onner

Ride regular with one guy from here but he wont admit it [ the love that dare not speak its name 😉 ] its ok he is on holiday I can mock with impunity.

Met a lot form here 100 ish I would guess at. I know a good number well enough to call to arrange rides etc.

I met Fred/Elfin/etc.

But it was 20 years ago or something, and he was pretty much always pissed and annoying.

(that was his description of himself, not mine)

i mentioned 'hora' while sat chatting at peaselake bus shelter and a big group of people turned round and started laughing, one of them asked if i knew him, i just said 'i might have met him once a few years ago' seems one of them had sold him a bike but he failed to complete the transaction.

We now need a new title for people that are bigger than Big Hitters?

By now I must have ridden past plenty living round here. But, as far as I am aware, I have not actually met anyone. Would feel a little odd riding up to a bunch of riders on the hills and asking of they are on STW, like being a Mason only less socially acceptable.

I've met a fair few. There is one ex-STW that I'd never want to meet. Genuinely. The rest have been fine. Junkyard may have differing political opinions but I'd sit in a pub and shoot the breeze with him.

In general I've only ever had one cross-word with a group of bikers (last weekend infact). Otherwise they are all good, decent folk.

I'd never stop on a trail though and ask if someones on STW.
