Welcome! Now that you've survived the first round of abuse, you should feel right at home!
Hope to see you on a trail someday soon, or keep an eye out for Meet & Greets, aka M&G's--there'll be one in your area sometime soon, I'm sure.
If you can, come to SoCalFest, happening in Big Bear the weekend of 5/7-5/9... if you can't pull off the whole weekend, just come up and run a tral or two on Saturday (leaving from Big Bear Discovery Center about 9am Saturday) or come up and help with trail maintenance on Sunday (same place, same time).
And again, welcome! I'll wait to abuse you until you've been around a bit longer =)
