Meeting live -# of TE members

How many TE members have you met in person? Of course that counts people who have not posted for awhile too.

Let's see --have met only 6 (Vancouver & Seattle). Will meet #7 soon! :) (Atlanta, Georgia)
When I joined really had no expectation to meet anyone in person. It was more to be part of a female-centred cycling internet discussion group.


I have participated in previous bike forums elsewhere, where I met with 3, each woman in different situations/places. They were from: Toronto, Netherlands and New Mexico. Netherlands woman was doing a worldwide bike ride and was an esperanto enthusiast.

11
Maybe more

3, if I am remembering correctly. I've talked to a few others on the phone but not met them in person.

I hope to meet more soon!

Hmmm about a dozen or more.:)

Three

Around 10. A couple of people came on a ride I led, who I can barely remember. But I see 3-4 a few times a year.

SK, Yellow, Jobob, MelissaM, MP, aka_kim, dachsund, snapdragen, adventuregirl, Trek420, Trekhawk, bikerz, DrBee, bikegoddess, cindysue, traveler_62...

I hope I didn't forget anyone, but I probably did. :eek:

Veronica

Sorry --I've met 7 TE members in total so far. (How could I forget...a trip to Hawaii.) I did meet a member in Hawaii: Maui.

Would be willing to meet a regular member here from Greater Toronto area...I'll be going back to visit a whole whack of family this fall.

Hee hee let me add a few for you.
BikerHen, ninabike, mtkitchn:D

I know Bikerhen was at Little Red Riding Hood, but I think I was kind of out it when I met her. I'm annoyed I missed the riders from the MS 150. :eek: I should have remembered them.

Veronica

It's fun to reorder the member list by join date and see who has been around for awhile and is still contributing. I joined in Oct. 2002. Trek420, snapdragen and Dogmama all pre-date me.

Veronica

Or reorder by posts. Mimi wins if you add in her posts with her new name. :D

Veronica

lalalalalala

I think 7 (including the one that I sleep with), plus two other honorary members (husbands) like me.

All those (except traveler_62) plus Bikemomma (whom V has also). Oh and plus V, too. :rolleyes: And minus me. :p

Veronica, Thom, Jobob, Leebob, MelissaM, MP, aka_kim, dachsund, snapdragen, adventuregirl (who was the 1st TE member I ever met. We met on the way to the Amgen), bikerz, bikegoddess, cindysue, Kitsune n X, Mimitabby, SK, Rougedog, MMQFC, Mel, Eden, Salsa, Quillfred ..... last but not least .... Spazzdog!!

Of course there's my family on TE; Duck on Wheels, UK, Maury (who lurks but does not post), and of course KnottedYet :D

My LBS lurks but does not post, Chris, where are ya?

Echoes of recognition bouncing off TE's virtual walls here! Like multiple tennis games going on here, overlapping all over..sorta. :)

Oops, I forgot one. I get to count "Administrator" as a member since I know Jeff, right?

That's 4 for me. :D

I didn't name any names before, but I will now. DivingBiker, Aint Doody, Kaybee.

None so far. But hopefully I will get to say a quick "hi" to a few TE'ers this weekend during STP. :)

Two, but I met both before I knew about TE.

Twelve that I can think of.

Hope you do! There's great people to meet here, even if briefly in person.

You know, I didn't list any names, because I can't remember them all. But, I do see Deb W, Kfergos, Mayanorange, and Denise G. And Tygab. There was someone from the North Shore... Donna? Oh yes, and Imperfectstorm, Wavedancer, and Karen (I can't remember her screen name). There was also someone I rode with twice, but I can't remember her name. She hasn't been on line in a long time.

Err... I'm up to 35 :o

Current and former SF Bay Area homies:
Veronica, SK, Yellow, MelissaM, MP, aka_kim, dachshund, snapdragen, adventuregirl, Trek420, spazzdog, Trekhawk, bikerz, bikegoddess, cindysue, Bikemomma, tprevost, DrBadger (and MIA: slinkedog, and probably a few others when I finally access those brain cells)

Waves to Wine 2007:
ninabike, mtkitchn

LRRH 2006:
BikerHen, Tater, CyclaSutra, Lifesgreat, sulis, AuntieK

Cameo appearances in the Bay Area:
DrBee, Biciclista, Duck on Wheels

My visit to Portland & the sidewalk sale at TE HQ last summer:
Susan, Jeff, oxysback, suzieqtwa, evangundy

It's fun to reminisce on how & when I met you folks. :D

Ed to add: now, that said, this list kind of runs the gamut - some I've met & spoken to very briefly, and some I count among my dearest friends.

I've met Lbtc, KG, Trekhawk, Grog, MMQFC, Sgtiger, X, Kit, Salsabike, Mimi n Raleighdon(:cool:)n bikerhen..

The catch up with Bikerhen was quite funny. I couldn't find an internet cafe in CD & was thinking :( how will I ever know who to look for? Sure enough, three cyclists meandered towards us & thought...hmmm..Sure enough it was them!

No axe murderers yet :D

One, Duck on Wheels.And that's pretty tootin' good seeing as we're perched up here on the outskirts of civilization, on each our end of a country shaped like a pencil. ;)

Geez, how could I have forgotten Spazzdog? And Newfsmith...

I usually show N'way as shaped like a long over-the-elbow mitten. You're down in the angle between thumb and fingers. I'm up by the wristbone. Then there's still nearly all the way up to the shoulder to go before you hit the Russian border at Kirkenes. ;) I've gotta get down to that thumb-web again soon, and now that my PhD students there are done, maybe we can meet up for coffee again, or even a ride ...?

As for the rest of the list: There're the family members, of course. UK-Eliphant, Trek420, KnottedYet, Maury. I think Trek's and my mutual SIL is a lurker, and possibly our mutual cousin in Geneva too. I've met a whole bunch'a folks at my "cameo appearances" in the Bay Area. I think there's a picture somewhere in the archives. Melody and I were one another's peloton on the infamously epic Cinderella Classic 30th anniversary ride. We didn't finish, but I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did without her. (Hi there, Melody! Haven't seen any posts from you recently. How're you doin'?). I've probably met others on CA and WI rides up through the years, but just not realized it. SaraLou was up here at the wristbone for a year doing coursework on her MA. (Hi Sarah! How's LouLou? We kinda miss her. Saw a roughcoat Jack Russel yesterday -- cute, but not as charming as LouLou. Guess we'll have to go visit her in Alaska some day. And will you be back here for your final orals?)

Only 1, redrhodie. Actually there was another lady we met up with in Jamestown one ride but I don't know if she posts here anymore...

Wow. Surprising...14 so far.

Gosh, I am feeling kinda bad. I haven't met anyone personally! I hope that changes in Portland!

Sorry, Cathy! I guess i wasn't thinking... well I was trying to think of people I had ridden with. Coffee didn't enter my mind at 1AM when i first tried to make my list!

Besides our great 2007 Waves to Wine AV team mentioned above, I've also met Brandi, Brandy, bcipam, tprevost, greenmachine, laughlaugh18 and one other So. Calif. member whose name I can't think of right now, but we rode in Orange County a few years back.

I yelled hello to Brandy as we passed each other on a double century in 2007. Does that count? :p

Veronica

Yep. :)

'cept I think you mean Brandy with a y (unless Brandi with an i is riding doubles? :) )

I've met three. Two of which don't post here any more. (is it ME????)

One was a sweet girl who rode her Bike Friday across the country several years ago. I put her up one night at my house. I wish I could remember what name she posted under.

Another who no longer posts here has gone on to do some serious racing here in the midwest. Can't remember her nym, either, but we had some pretty good outings together.

And KnottedYet, who went out of her way to meet me when I helped Elder Daughter move to Seattle.

All wonderful people, BTW.

I haven't met any waaaaaaaaa :(


I will be in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend!

I will be in the Hendersonville, NC area Aug. 15-23 if anyone wants to meet up. Course, I won't have a bike with me... :rolleyes:
