Stumpman is not gender specific. Years ago the debate was settled that manholes are not personholes and that chairman is not chairperson. Which one applies to you after seeing a cyclist stranded on the side of the road?
a) Wave, ask if they're alright, but pretend not to hear the cry of distress as you zoot on by.
b) Stop, check that they're OK, if the bikes broken fix it, if the bodies finished, organize an evacuation!
To be on the Stumpjumper trail crew (which earns you the title of Stumpman) you have to be the later. A Stumpman is not a weight weenie. You always carry a multitool, pump, tube and tyre repair equipment. The Stumpman is like a leatherman knife - she / he has got a solution for everything!
Oh by the way, did you see the sunrise on the way to work this morning?
