From Yorkshire in the UK, moved to San Jose in 97 then Nampa in 21. Was a geek for 35 years (DBA -> cloud architect) and retired 4/12/24. I've ridden quite a bit around the sierra nevada range and Northern Cal and intend to do the same with Idaho and the surrounding states. I've done the CABDR & IDBDR and will be doing the NCABDR this summer. Most rides I sweep and I can generally McGyver a ride to completion 🙂 I'm computer literate and reasonably mechanically inclined (ie I can usually fix stuff). You'll normally see me on either a Norden, a Beta 390RR or an F800GS though I have several bikes including street only.
