In the Beginning

There was a website. It was called www.beginnerbiker.org. Don't bother going there, it no longer exsists.

But on this website there was a forum. And in this forum there was a page for regional events, rides, etc. There was a region called 'Southern California.' In this area of the forum, bikers from all over Southern California began to post. It was soon discovered there were a lot of bikers in Southern California on this forum, and that they really didn't have anyone to ride with because they were, after all, beginner bikers.

So they banded to gether in the summer of '04 and they began to ride. They road all over! They road ACH (Angeles Crest Highway), Mullholland, Santiago Canyon, Live Oak Canyon, Ortega Higyway, Pacific Coast Highway, and even went on longer, overnight trips to San Diego and Pismo Beach. They began to call themselves "The Mild Ones" and they would "ride to eat and eat to ride." One of them even started a website where they could post pictures of them on their rides.

They were so excited about riding! But suddenly their beloved BeginnerBiker forum went down. Something about fighting website hosts, though rumers were never confirmed. They were lost! What were they to do? Where were they to post about new rides?

There was a temporary fix in the form of a "Tag Board" on their website, but it wasn't enough. Finally one came to the rescue. Why not start our own forum?

And they did.

And 3 forums later, they still do.
