Anyone know? I noticed a long time ago that he hadn't been posting and today I find myself wondering about him again.
What happened to SlowerThanASluggishSloth?

There is something a bit odd going on ... If you do the usual @SlowerThanASluggishSloth thing, it doesn't work. I wondered whether he had left CC and had asked @Shaun to delete his details but then I remembered a thread that I started in which STASS replied (HERE). If you click on his avatar there then you still get the usual information about when he last posted (Nov 2015) and so on. Very strange ... 
He came along on several of my forum rides. He did a local walk with me when I was recovering from illness and not yet up to tackling the local hills on my bike. He is a really nice man. It would be good to see him again but he told me that cycling was a relatively minor interest so perhaps he is busy with his other interests, especially rock climbing?
I was just going to check to see if I still had his mobile number but then I remembered that my phone is broken. A replacement phone is in the post and when that arrives I will send a text message to STASS to ask if he is ok, and if he fancies coming on any of my rides this year.

Oh ... the @ thing worked when I actually posted! Perhaps that will summon STASS for us, if he has suitable alerts set up for mentions of him.
If I type in @ followed by 'slow' I get a list of 5 member names but STASS is not one of them.

Because it selects the shortlist from most recently active members ... and @SlowerThanASluggishSloth hasn't been on CC for a good while.

Would it work if I tried to summon the candy man, or Beelzebub?

Oh, yes, that BIG ride - I had forgotten that we rode together on that one!
Have you tried summoning a Cervelo TT bike.

Speaking of nice people and walks ...
I read elsewhere that your cycling is currently very much on the back burner? (That's a shame - I remember watching you get fitter and fitter and being dropped by you for the first time on a climb was a very proud moment. Not that I was proud of being slower than you, but because I was one of a group of CC riders encouraging you and it was good to see!)
Anyway ... @Cubist and I plan to do a walk over the local hills when his hip recovers from its recent op. We plan to catch a bus from Hebden Bridge up to Blackstone Edge which would (except for a few minor sections) do away with the need to walk uphill, head along the Pennine Way to Stoodley Pike, and then stroll downhill to the start point in HB. It probably won't be for a couple of months or so, and I will start a thread in the Recreational Rides section of the forum (since there isn't a Walks section) nearer the time. It would be fun if you could join us ...

Sounds good Colin, let you know once you set a date as I need to see if I'm working.Anyway ... @Cubist and I plan to do a walk over the local hills when his hip recovers from its recent op.
