    Hi all. I'm Ed. I'm currently finishing up a mechanical engineering BS at UCI.

    I started riding this last summer and have truely become obsessed! Having only ridden Laguna, Aliso, and Oaks, I look forward to exploring the rest of Socal.

    Currently, I'm cruising around on a Hardrock disc 29er from craigslist that I've done a few upgrades to, but I also have a Heckler in the making that I can not wait to ride!

    Welcome from Irvine. There's a few of us at UCI right now. What kind of bike do you ride?

    I was an ME, but I switched two years ago. It just wasn't for me. I'm a 4th year, so we probably had some classes together.
