Of course I'm flattered by the topic as its subject, but I'm sorry you feel this is cliquey. It's really nothing more than loads of us have met each other in real life, so have a little bit more connection. There's no excluding others intended by anyone I've met online or IRL.
Like everyone here, I'm pretty chuffed to meet other forummites, and I'd be well honoured if I got to meet you and hang out in real life. I've had some super rides with other members, and they are amongst my best memories of London so far.
