    Hey guys, I recognize some of you by your user names from one of the "other" riding websites and I recognize some of you in the posted pics from passing by you on the trails. The vibe here is great, reminds me of the AZ boys.

    Hey there and hello again, @SoCalRider . Now I am afraid you have to leave. You see, we already have 14 Mikes! (I may be exaggerating).

    J/K Glad you made it here. This is a friendly place filled with people who love... wait for it.... riding mt. bikes! :thumbsup:

    Ride a lot, write a lot, but don't hurt a lot - that's my job! (waving smiley)

    Welcome aboard, @SoCalRider . @herzalot forgot to mention that he expects you to join him on rides with a minimum of 8K elevation gain in less than 30 miles.:whistling:

    Ride lots. Write a lot about riding lots. Dive in and give as good as you get.

    You are now free to move about the cabin.:thumbsup:

    Ahhh GEEZ!
    Yes, I am the starter of this whole enchilada mess!
    I remember you Sir, from STR, yeah, it's okay to say the name. Awesome place at one time.

    In my opinion... you can NEVER have enough Mike's on this forum. I checked in the imtbtrails by-laws.

    A couple of imtbtrails observational notes:
    1. Every thread WILL get derailed (It's like a dahm requirement, we even have a "Derailed Thread" to prove it)
    2. Most everyone here hates eBikes (you will just have to deal with it :whistling:)
    3. Everyone wants everyone else to post a bunch (well, to include me)
    4. Trolls, Ogre's, Nazi's, and people who attack others are instantly banned (Bwahhhh haahhhh haaaah haaaaaaaaaaaahh, ohhhh, the power)
    Welcome to imtbtrails Mike!
    This is a good place and it will stay good. That's the Mikie Watson guarantee! :thumbsup:

    PS: Oh and that toilet above? That's @DangerDirtyD 's... So it's all starting to make sense.o_O

    You are now free to harass the family!
    Let's ride!

    What Redman said :cool:

    Welcome to paradise, @SoCalRider Mike. You're username is one underscore away from @SoCal_Rider Ryan, but sadly, Ryan has not been here much. Eh, not much difference between any of us, come to think. Lots of Mikes, lots of riders, lots of love for the dirt...

    Cheers! :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I was shocked that the user name I chose was even available. I wanted it to be completely different than he one I used elsewhere.

    I'm glad Ryan's name isn't Mike also...

    Buck Owens is not enough?


    This one's for you, Dan.




    Hellfire, man, without Bakersfield, we would not have had Korn. Praise the Central Valley!

    It's funny how people love Buck and I have seen him a few times at the Crystal Palace and I don't get it. I can do Korn, they are a Bakersfield band.

    Roger, mate.

    What about the Needles and Dome Rock? Southern Sierra gateway, Kennedy Meadows OHV, holy shite, man you got it in spades in your back yard. I could be busy in Bakersfield for a decade and barely scratch the surface.

    I have been to many places over the years, I was just at the Black rock station a few weeks ago with my brother(who works for the forest service) before the heavy snow and did some hiking on trails that aren't on the map. Very fun

    It ain't rock n' roll, but it's about rocks. I worked on a LP pipeline project from the North Coles Levee Oil Field to Rogas Rail Terminal, working with the Santa Rosa Rancheria representing the Southern Valley Yokuts. We recorded and collected several obsidian tool sites along the ancient shores of Buena Vista Lake, deposited when the mighty Kern would flood into the valley. I built a solid relationship with the Rancheria and will always remember Lalo, Pete, and Uncle Ron.
