How many of you have met/ridden with other forum members you didn't already know?

I thought it might be an interesting question to find out how small the world is, even though we're spread all over the place geographically. Have you ever actually met and ridden with people you've met on this forum and if so, when and tell us about it.


I'm a newbie here, but on Day 1, I realized that, even though we are from completely different cities, I had just done the same ride as zoom-zoom - the JDRF Ride to Cure in Lake Tahoe. We didn't actually meet in person that weekend, but I definitely saw her group around the whole weekend (the JDRF riders were a small subset - 135 or so - of the much larger Tour De Tahoe). I thought that was pretty cool to make that connection and I think we both could agree that it was an amazing experience - not just the ride, but the whole weekend vibe. I'm sure we'll meet in person sometime in the future because I intend to be riding in JDRF rides for a long time to come. Gotta love serendipity at work.
