Been around here for a few minutes and just noticed this thread. HI! :wave: my name is Greg Hotchkiss (hence the screen name). My wife (Krunner44) got me into riding in July of 2007. I've lost over 50 pounds riding up and down the hills here in Orange County and I've met so many cool people. Currently riding a Specialized rockhopper 29er SS. hoping to build a Niner one 9 and a Lenz milk money (full suspension SS, OH YEAH!) within the next year. I'm covered in tattoo's and always ride with my wife, say hi if you see us on the trails.
