The best thing about...

[Veronica]

A chance to celebrate our online friends.

Tell what you think is the best thing about someone else on TE.

V.

[Veronica]

is she makes me laugh. I can't help it... swimming in poo, being loyal like a dog.

Plus I think it's so cool how her students look up to her as super athlete.

[Blueberry]

The best thing about Veronica is she reminds me to challenge myself regularly.

The best thing about BSG is she keeps me grounded and reminds me what's important.

The best thing about Tulip is she reminds me to slow down and enjoy life.

(just a start!)

Great thread:)

The best thing about KnottedYet is her unending enthusiasm. When she likes something, she *really* likes it. And loves telling everyone about it.

[crazycanuck]

The best thing about T (That's LBTC) is she's very supportive (great chickadee in real life too & her dearie poos!)

The best thing about KG is she's determined! (coolio chickadee in real life too!)

The best ting about SK is she's oh so vewy vewy vewy knowledgeable about bikin..:cool:

The best thing about the California long distance ladies (AKA The AV gang) is they have perseverance. I am still working my way back to doing another 200km this year :)

[salsabike]

The best thing about Maillotpois is that she manages to be a great athlete, a positive presence here, and funny as hell all at once. Nice combo.

[maillotpois]

:o

wow. thanks!

okay I will give it a whirl....

Jobob - makes me examine my priorities and ask myself what's really important to me.

SadieKate - is a wise and patient teacher of the technical and unfamiliar who doesn't mind occasionally having to repeat herself to those of us with some ADHD (also a marvellous host and tour guide).

Snap - makes me laugh out loud. A lot. Such that I might call attention to myself and make people worry.

Veronica - is amazingly determined.

Salsabike - has a huge amount of compassion (and also gave me a book once that made me cry. In a good way.)

CA - is loyal, to a fault, I think.

[salsabike]

The best thing about SadieKate is that she is not afraid to speak her mind, and that she is so willing to share her vast store of knowledge about bikes as machines. She also makes me laugh.

[OakLeaf]

The best thing about Wahine is her serious and determined nature, and her helpfulness to questioners here.

[jobob]

The best thing about BikerZ is her infectious enthusiasm and her amazing breadth of knowledge.

OK that's two things :o

[maillotpois]

The best thing about BikerZ is her infectious enthusiasm and her amazing breadth of knowledge.

OK that's two things :o

And her music collection.... :D

[salsabike]

Best smile by far: Jobob.

[MillieNZ]

Friendliest person is Mimitabby :)

Most entertaining poster is ZenCentury

[salsabike]

Yes. The best thing about Mimitabby is that she is really kind-hearted.

[IFjane]

Yes. The best thing about Mimitabby is that she is really kind-hearted.

And a wonderful artist!

The best thing about the TE community as a whole is that it/they/we make all feel welcome and part of the "crowd"!

[Velobambina]

The best thing about JeanneRides is her determination, strength and wonderful attitude. She's an inspiration!

The best thing about Veronica is her cookie recipes.

The best thing about 7rider is her "enabling" my decision not to return my Alaris (short lived buy's remorse)!!

The best thing about Silver is her kindness & generosity.

[Trek420]

And her music collection.... :D

and her dog, Simon. ooops, that's 4 things.

Thanks TE for bringing all these wonderful gals (and some guys, and some dogs, and cats and ....) together.

[Aggie_Ama]

The best thing about Zen is once I figured her sarcasm out she makes me laugh all the time. Snap too, damn those ladies are funny!

SadieKate and Knot are the best source of knowledge on cassettes, bikes, sun protection. I have learned so much.

Veronica, MP and JoBob make me feel I can do anything as I sit in awe of their rides. I never knew how in awe I was until I drove Mt Tam!

And the best thing about everyone is the humor, insight and caring.

[jesvetmed]

I don't know any of you all personally (although I met a few of you briefly.).. but I have to say, that every one of you are extremely giving of your time and always willing to help out when there are questions or concerns. It is really amazing.

You all are supportive of us no matter what level we are at, and no matter how silly our questions may seem!

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
Oh, and Zen, you do crack me up!

[Crankin]

Bleeker St. Girl is the funniest person I know. And, I think she speaks her mind more than I do, which is good.
Deb W. knows more about bikes than anyone I know.
Jolt is the fastest hiker I've ever met (of course, she is young enough to be my daughter).

[Blueberry]

Mr. S and Silver are two of the most grounded, well reasoned folks on the boards. They always have a kind word and a funny story:) And Mr. S knows just when to jump into the fray 'round here, and when to stay out:)

MP was the first to make me believe I could have a career and do crazy things on a bike:)

[maillotpois]

Oh, and Zen, you do crack me up!

+1!!!! :D

[BikeMomma]

Nice thread. :)

Heck, I just think you're all great in your own unique ways. I don't post as much as I used to, but I still watch the boards, and have observed how they morph, by accommodating and welcoming each new member. What stays constant, though, is the kindness and community of this place, and that's what keeps me here. When someone is in crisis, it's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to post their encouragements.

For those I have met in person, I think you're all wonderful. Snap, Jobob, SK, MP, V, Trek, CindySue, BikeGoddess, Z, Badger (I know you as that), among others too many to list -- thanks for the good times, the things in common, and for your friendship.

I just want to thanks Susan O for providing not only outstanding customer service but a reputable forum as well for the cycling enthusiast. This is a wonderful community of ladies and their supportive men who are respectful of the members.

[luv'nAustin]

Gosh, You all inspire me...every day! I'm always amazed at the amount of humor and wit that you share with us. So many of you make me smile and so many post are well written and inteligent. I learn new things and enjoy the different points of views that I read about here on the forum.

Thanks to all of you for making this such an interesting board.

[PinkBike]

Veronica - cracks me up
Kitsune - intrigues me, would be a great person to get to know
Silver - impresses me
always read posts from anyone with "trek" or "knot" in the name, as well as sadiekate and mimitabby
all y'all are great!

[Red Rock]

I know I have not posted a whole lot. Sometimes when I come to the computer I don't know what to say to you all. Sometimes I wonder if I have a boring life. I don't want to bring my problems on to this board and make someones life not good.

Forgive me for rambling....

When I read the posts and when I post, all present have taught me a whole lot about different cycling things, ideas and good general knowledge. For this I am greatfull. I also appreaciate the caring and concern of all here on this board. This is a great community. May we all continue to be postive influences to each other.

[Aggie_Ama]

RR- I like your new avatar please tell about it!

[Red Rock]

Well, I was experimenting with how to do this. I figured everyone had enough of my face. So time for a change.

Actually this is a picture from the National Park Service of Zion National Park. This is one of the local parks just about a 45 drive from where I live here in Southern Utah.

I few years ago my husband and I rode our bikes through the canyon there for our anniversary. For the Geology nuts this is Navajo sandstone-the red rock. The white rock formation has a name, but I cannot remember it. The rock combonations around here are wonderful. In the higher elevations you get the evergreens and the combonations are to die for.

Welcome to Southwestern Utah!

[Dogmama]

The best thing about DebW is she patiently answers the same questions over & over...

Zen is a riot.

Best avatar: maillotpois

Irulan has weathered major storms on this board.

Silver has shown me that I can crash & come back.

Veronica restores my faith in teachers.

[rocknrollgirl]

Thanks V!!!!

The best thing about all of you is that you make me think, question, laugh, and dream......and hope!

[salsabike]

The best thing about KnottedYet is how joyously comfortable she is in her own skin---I love that, it's not easy to achieve, and it always reminds me to do the same.

[Brandi]

Boy it is hard to just pick a few to be grateful for.......Everyone here is so compassionate and supportive. We all in some way seem to have a common bond of sorts. So I have to choose notto pick a few to write about but to pick all of you.
I have had a chance to meet a few of you in person but most online. I have not had a bad experience with any. I think you are all the best!
It would be fun if a central place could be picked for all to meet at. I am sure this has gotten brought up before? It would be fun though.

[SadieKate]

Best smile by far: Jobob.+1!

I just found this thread. Gosh, durn, thanks. My list of good things about so many people would take all day to type and I'm supposed to be working.

Maybe I'll just have to pop in with random stuff.

Zen - completely dependable for launches from left field.

MP - for making me laugh so hard I was crying during our engrish duel.

akaKim - for her charming whining as she steadily climbs whatever (but not so much for the pseudo-competition with Bubba cause I have to live with his "practice" sessions :D).
