OOPS, how could I forget my shopping trip to meet Lisa (who else would drive 2 hours to buy Ibex?) or our lovely 50 mile ride from Great Barrington, MA to Lisa's village in NY and back?
Me neither :(Quote:

I have not met anyone either. Yellow has been down my way going to Zion National Park. A few have been here from SoCal for the Marathon. I have never met anyone. I feel kind of lonely out here in the desert.
Red Rock
Only one - 7rider.
Totally.Quote:

I've only met two on purpose, but I bet I run across TE members all the time without knowing it.
Veronica, I will be in Camden, Maine on the 22nd-24th.
I forgot--also I met Thorn, but I didn't know she was Thorn until after I spent a week riding with her.
I discovered 3 TE members here live less than 5 kms. near me, in different directions. Ironic to discover this via an international, American-dominant forum like TE. :) Otherwise we would be cyclists passing each other into the night.Quote:

SK is short for SadieKate .Quote:

If it's the picture I'm thinking of, that's not me with SK & mp, btw. She's their friend (whose name I have momentarily forgotten, doh) who they formed their Waves to Wine team around.
I, on the other hand, manned the very first W2W rest stop with Team Snap (me, Lee, Veronica, Thom, aka_kim, BikerZ, and, of couse, snap) and spent that time trying to minimize the gawdawful traffic jam at that stop, by harping at people to move themselves and their bikes off the freakin' path. Oy. :rolleyes: Happily, Team Snap will not be working that rest stop at this year's W2W, instead we'll be working the one up in Marshall, so everyone will not descend up on us all at once. :cool:
We might be able to do this. It would be fun to see you race and we don't have plans yet for that weekend.Quote:

Oh, now I see "SK" listed in the original list! I'm a little slow today! I could have sworn that the card I got from SK said that you were in included in the picture. The three women pictured are each straddling their bikes. So, if you were working the SAG, it makes sense that you aren't in the picture. Oh well; I like the picture all the same!Quote:

can I say, a whole bunch?
those whose names I can remember (like Jobob, Shootingstar, KNottedyet, Trek###, Eden, Susan###, MaryQFC, SalsaXXX, Teigyr, and those other gals, whose names are slipping my mind....)
oh there's Jocelyn, and JustVetMed, see, there's too many. and My friends who moved to Portland.. a he and SGTIGER!, now i forget their bikeforum names.
Augh.
lots!
oh and our good friend in SCOTLAND!
Hopefully you will come when summer finally decides to arrive in New England - it hasn't yet ;). Sunny today, but that's a rarity for us right now!Quote:

Here's a link. I do hope you can make it - would be fun to meet you and Thom in person!
SheFly
It's been added to our schedule of events. I'll PM you my cell so we can hook up after the race. Maybe Thom will even get some pictures.
Veronica
Here's everyone that I can remember at the moment. I'm sure I left out someone.:o
Bruno, biciclista + Mr. B (aka Releighdon), Eden + Mr. E, MM_QFC + L, Knottedyet + SKnot, Teigyr + Mr. T, X-rayted, Kitsune, Salsabike + Mr. S, Dex, jocelynlf, jesvetmed, crazycanuck + Mr. C, Wahine, Quillfred, and trickytiger. And of course, BoyInAKilt, to whom I'm married.
7 - that I can remember .... although the total kept increasing while I was reading all the other posts and more came to mind.
Perhaps we'll have to revisit this thread next year at this time and see how much higher everyone's total has grown.
One more (and I'm pretty sure this is it)...Margo (lunacycles) when I bought my bike from her.
A big fat ZERO! (But I have met an honorary member, aka husband, as Mr. Silver calls them.)
...and we met Mr. HoosierGiant when he recognized us from TE pictures and came up to us after the Hilly Hundred...Quote:

Great guy! We even met for lunch a few months ago.
While vacationing in Maine, we rode by SheFly's "other" home...does that count?Quote:

Mary
I almost mentioned that, too! It was interesting to see a pic of my house with Silver standing in front of it! Only wish we had been there at the time...Quote:

Not sure I can count them all, but there's the Massachusetts contingent that's done a couple rides or meals, usually with Crankin's leadership (thanks). And the DC contingent whom I had the pleasure of riding the C&O with. And one member who lives in Texas and one in NY. And AlpineRabbit from here in Zurich. I met SheFly at the Tuesday night women's rides a couple years ago. And a couple of TE members have been to my house for mechanic assistance, and two have gotten wheel building lessons. I'm counting at least 12 from Massachusetts, 5 from DC, 2 from elsewhere in the US, and 1 from Europe. That's 20.

Will mention the names of those I've met ..since many TE members are doing also:
buddhabellies and her DH (she's quite a gardener too), Grog and her DH, badger, MauiRockhopper & her DH (kite-surfer instructor, ex-surfing champion), bicliclista & raleighdon, salsabike & her DH, jocelyn. Skinmini is coming soon.
I added maryellen, as we had a chance to enjoy a meeting and lunch visit after I finished the Empire State AIDS ride a couple of years ago...it was super fun to meet her and I should've remembered when I posted initially...oops!Quote:

Yesterday I got to meet and hang out with V, and hubbie Thom in Yarmouth, ME! They are here on vaca, and came out to the Yarmouth Clam Festival to watch DH and I race. Then we all went to lunch afterwards. Very fun!
I love meeting TE people :D.
SheFly
It was an awesome day! The race was fun to watch, chatting with Shefly and her honey was great and I got a lobster roll for lunch. Oh and the carrot cake for dessert was really good too. :D
Veronica
PS We have some great pictures from the race. They will for sure be up by next week when we get home.
When will you be in Atlanta? I wanna play too!

V, I was in Maine just the week before! I just missed you guys! I actually got back home on the 20th, wee hours. I recall my cousin was talking about the Clam Fest coming up too (they were making plans to avoid it, actually, because of the traffic).Quote:
