Yet another new guy.......

New cat here checking in.....relocated from Tx about 4 years ago. My 2010 Pivot Mach 5 came with me. I managed to take a nasty spill out at Whiting about 2 years ago and havent been able to ride much until a few months ago. Bad tear of my right groin.

Got my groove back and jumped to a Yeti SB 5.5. Can't believe I never wanted to try 29" wheels. What an ass I was......still am. Anyhoo.....stoked and pushing myself back in shape at 43 around Aliso 2-4 times a week.

Would like to join some group rides even though I'm not quite in shape yet. Soon enough.

Severum

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome.......

All we ask is that you participate......ride lots, post lots. There is a good group of peeps/riders here.

 

Nice garage.. oh, and welcome!

 

Welcome... Now if you don't mind I'm just gonna stare at the picture of your Yeti and drool a little...

 

Welcome @Severum - Beautiful bike. I don't think anyone makes a better one. And if you are riding Aliso 2-4 times per week, you are in shape enough to ride with most of us, and you will be waiting at the top for others (me, for example).

I frequent Aliso and/or LCWP nearly every weekend. Let's ride - except I may not want to look at your bike for fear of wanting to trade.

 

Thanks everyone. I walked up most of Cholla on Wednesday. Thought my heart might pop outta my chest. This dude was dying. However the roll down rockit made it worthwhile!

Appreciate the warm welcome. Seems you all have some great sarcasm too which I can appreciate!!

Severum

 

Welcome!

We don't do sarcasm here.

Just kidding... We thrive on it. Sweet looking bike, by the way...

 

Welcome to imtbtrails from Frazier Park!

That's, uhhhhh a nice bike! What's the address of your garage? Ha ha! Just kidding!

I know the address of your garage... Still kidding.

 

Welcome and keep the wheels turning!

 

I'm trying to figure out if you're a person or a cat, and where both of my groins are...

Those mysteries aside, welcome, @Severum You deserve some copious recreation after soldiering through that injury. Keep chipping away at the fitness, it'll come. Hope to share some dirt with ya – I'm one of the OC reprobates here. Cheers!

 

Howdy pardner, so a Texan relocates to California? Sounds like the beginning of a joke... Whatever the shape, we ride. Are we not mtb'ers?

 

Such a pretty looking bike! We'll fix THAT soon enough Welcome to the neighborhood!

 

Ohhhh, I'm coveting that bike... big time!

 

welcome.... STFU!
badass bike!

 

Just get it already!!!!!

I will donate a fresh Andy Jackson portrait to help you satisfy your upgrade need. If all of the IMTB members did the same, you would have plenty. Who's in?

Ooops, this could be a major thread derail. Sorry @Severum. Let's go ride.

 

You got the right attitude.
When you are ready to chase fast guys in the OC I can point you in the right direction (I'm not one of them, I just like riding with other guys who are faster them me).

 

Definitely not fast. Just enjoy the dirt.....despise the road.....sorry my roadies..........i take it Mikie is lusting for a yeti?

Awesome welcome gents......mucho appreciated......

Severum

 

A ride from last week where I walked most of Cholla. Ugh......

The Mikie fund....I get it......we could open a kickstarter campaign for his ass. I'm down......

Severum

 

Mikie is lusting for another Yeti. It's only a matter of time...

 

I'm lusting for one too, just sayin...

 

OG Mikie's little website brought us all together on his own dime and passion. Sniff... (tear of joy)...

 

I figure I'll beat @Mikie to it....@Severum, you may want to choose an avatar soon. Just sayin'.

 

I vote for that photo of his bike. Pure porn.

 

Bienvenido

Nice ride. FYI I'm looking to get that same Yeti in that same color. Grey goes with everything

 

Wish granted.

 

The transmission just went coo coo on my poor abused Dodge.
Money saved is money gone... A new Yeti went on the delayed gratification board.

Sooo, I'm seriously thinking about a life of crime. Wanted in several states "could" mean Arizona, Utah, and Colorado? .......right?

 

You can break into my garage....but you won't like the bike you'll find in there.

 

Nooooo! I hope you have some sort of drivetrain warranty still in effect?

 

Welcome to the OC. I got out to Aliso this morning and its in great shape. PM me if you want to get out and ride Aliso...Its my home court!!!
