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

I have met 5 (Dogmama, BadgerCat, Desert Tortoise, Owlie & 1 other), ridden with the first 3, and waved at one more riding in El Tour de Tucson....(itself).

I rode with Alex and caught up with Kacie and her hubby both when Kacie and Alex's husband were doing the St. George Ironman. Now that it is 70.3, it makes me even more happy for them that they made it through the course as a full IM. I would love to meet more TE people. Probably more have driven through town on the way to Vegas or over to Moab unless you came from the Colorado side.

LOL azfiddle....maybe I was the 1 other? We met once and rode together.

I've gone to gatherings from another bike site back in the late 90's, mountain biking. It was fun and no there was not an ax murder among us. From that website one of the ladies I camped with came out from the East coast and stayed here in Tucson with me at my son's and another cyclist friend who came from CA with me to do El Tour. I think that was '01. It's all fun!

I think it would be cool to have a TE members only jersey that you could only buy if you actually signed up for an account. Maybe set a limit that you have to have posted 20 times (random number) prior to purchasing or be approved by the administrators to keep it legit. Then when you are riding you might see someone else with the same jersey and make a new friend. I have no idea how many, if any, members I have ridden by (or most likely behind) We could have a design contest and vote on the one we like the best which would be kinda fun. I've seen some hysterical slogans posted here of late.

I haven't ridden with any te gals, but I've run into Bikerhen on the Centennial Trail here. I have met and done activities with folks from some of the other boards I hang out on (mtbr/skidiva). Anyone remember usenet? One of my very best friends I met on alt.sewing; and we used to have an annual Idaho bike gathering off of alt.mountainbike.
