Feel free to report any threads that are in the Road Cycling forum to the moderators, I'll move them here as they are reported to me. I don't have much free time to hunt down the old threads.

Found it. Here is the OC ride thread that I spoke of, that to the best of my knowledge is the ride that started it all off. How did I find it? Easy. If you sort by number of replies, a lot of the SoCal ride threads are on page 1.
[EDIT] The above link was the planning thread. Go down a few more pages (sorting by post count), and the ride reports and pics are here.
[EDIT 2] The Sept 2 ride thread started this afternoon is already on page 7 by post count despite being fewer than 12 hours old!

Cool! I see the mods are starting to populate our little corner of BikeForums with our glorious historical documents!

Others can come visit our section of the universe. I figure we can occasionally post a short thread in the roadie forum with links to all our glamorous events that other regions lack. Just imagine... "First week of winter SoCal ride reports" for a thread title. Post a link to a bunch of pics of sunshine and beaches as we ride by midday in short-sleeved jerseys. They'll want to kill us.
Or, if we continue to dominate the scene, people might just lurk around the SoCal subforum all the time anyway just to see what's up.
By the way, I think the Hawaiians will have an identity crisis. They've been placed in the "Pacific Northwest".

I have no problem with you starting a ride-report thread in the road forum, then asking it to be moved to this one 2 - 3 days later.

As a non-SoCal'er, I love checking the threads about your rides. If only the group of lazies that live in my area ( ) would have the same organizational skills, life would be a blast.
Oh yeah, I have no problem looking into the regional sub-forums to find out what's going on, either. Plus, with the search functions back on, clicking on View New Posts at the top of the screen usually gets me to the threads quicker.
