Hey everyone. I'm glad I took the chance and met some of you at Allaire last night, for the Tuesday beginner ride. It was nice riding with everyone 🙂
My name is Stan but I'm not, Stan in the Van. I'm 42, work for the NJDOT. I'm happy married, have a 8 yr old that is AD/HD. I grew up tearing up the trails in Allaire with my friend Jim before MTBing was considered cool. I picked up smoking because the navy dentist said my chew was eating was gums. 20 years later, I'm smoke free 3 months and looking to regain the fun times I enjoyed on a bike.
If you see an vintage purple Gaint rigid, that would be me. I'm to poor to buy what I want, so I'm just going to enjoy the technology I enjoyed so much, years ago, while I work on a newer bike and endurance - lol.
 
welcome ! Best of luck on your trail back....

let's organize a vintage mt bike ride!! luvinit
 
I don't think I met you last night "Stan without the Van" but I am glad you had fun. Hopefully I will meet you next week.

Congrats on kicking the smoking habit too!
 
I know Paul @ beacon tried to organize a vintage ride (no disc brakes) at allaire before. I am all for it now that I have a bike to bring.

Hopefully I make it to the next Tuesday night ride, I rode allaire yesterday afternoon, always a fun time

I have to admit that Brick is a cool name for a town. I'm sure the word brick meant brick when they named it. But they said F it and named it Brick anyway.

Conversely, you could live in one of these:

This is one cool town name:

I'm from Bernardsville. It's a boring name, but it used to be called Vealtown. I think I may start saying I'm from Vealtown:

Oh, welcome!

The next town over is called Wall
 
I would love to say I live between brick and wall 😀 welcome my friend!
 
Welcome aboard Stan_2 glad you enjoyed the ride last night good to meet you.
 
Thanks everyone. It would be cool seeing a group of oldies rolling through Allaire again. The sound of sand and rubber-pads grinding on aluminum rims would sure to be heard miles away. I hope to see everyone next Tuesday.

Capes what's hanging? For those of you who not camped with The Doc! Lock your tent at night, he's a wild one- rofl. I was nice seeing Andrew another JSSKA member.
