Newb from AZ
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone. My name is Greg and I live in AZ. I have lived a few places in the Phoenix area as well as Flagstaff, Los Angeles, and Colorado Springs. I have ridden 5 or 6 double centuries and a lot of other epic rides. I have also raced in the Tour de Phoenix and the Tour of the Tucson Mountains in years past. My first son was born almost a year ago, and while his Mom was pregnant, I packed on quite a few pounds, but I am no trying to ramp up my miles again and get my fat arse back into shape!! I have been reading a lot of BF threads lately, and finally decided to "take the plunge" and introduce myself. I look forward to getting involved with some of the Road Cycling threads and being part of all that is BF!

Welcome. Im a newb to the forum as well. And yes, this is a great way to lose the pounds.
What kind of bike do you have? I do South Mountain every Saturday and Sunday that I can. I love it. Once Again, welcome.

Hey JronaTrek! Thanks for the welcome and welcome to you too! I ride a 2000 Giant TCR which was bright yellow, but I had it stripped, polished, and clear coated so it is shiny aluminum now! South Mtn is a good ride I haven't gotten back to doing much climbing yet. I did ride in a GABA ride a couple months ago that went up by Seven Springs that gave my legs quite a toasting.
