Thanks Tony! 1 Year ago

Just wanted to publicly acknowledge what a great guy Tony (theGRINDER) is.

I have been planning a trip to the Dragon for around six months. Tony sent me a message saying he would be happy to meet up and ride a few miles together. Well, those few miles turned into two entire days!

Tony could not have been more hospitable and willing to help. I feel like I have made a great friend for life. It's no wonder the RSC is so great with members like Tony.

Sorry if I mucked up your persona!

Re:Thanks Tony! 1 Year ago

I agree, the guys here are really nice guys. They are the kind of guys I would probably choose to make friends with if I hadn't met them here already. The thing about the RSC is not only is it full of knowledgable members but if they prove to be genuinely like their persona, then its more reason to make friends. I know I would. Kai

Ironman and I are gonna ride a couple of miles together this end of May on my way home from RFTW. I know Ironman from his post and genuinely like him...I hope he is like his persona. Kai
