On a personal note, I wouldn't have met a fair few folk in real life without this place, and they are as 'sound as a pound'.
I could name loads, but things like being invited to a wedding was like 'WOW' and seeing another member find a new partner and have children over this period is like - WOOOOOO !!
(no names but you two know who you are !!!)
And seeing other folk regular on the commute, and going for a spin with other members and their kids getting muddy ..... felt a bit weird at first, but that's how you meet folk.... Internet works very well some times..
Some cracking folk out there, and I'm really happy to help folk out with spares. Forgot one of our members was at the track meeting recently, and he said hello and thanks - cheers... I was a bit busy monitoring my lads bloods to interact with the folks sometimes...
Love it....
Even though it's a bit geaky, my wife keeps saying, YOU NEED TO SWAP NUMBERS with this lot - beer, food, and let the kids play on bikes !!
