The USA Cycling Pro Championships were held in Greenville today and the race was intense! The 112 mile course looped through the downtown area, Cleveland Park, North Main, and Paris Mountain. Fans lined up along the path to cheer on the cyclist, while downtown hosted events for families and cycling related retail booths. George Hincapie, Greenville's very own "Hometown Hero" (as I've heard him called) has won this event in years past. However, this year Ben King, a Trek Livestrong team member, takes the title. Cycling enthusiast crowded downtown to get a glimpse of the future of cycling, and the picture looks promising! This is definitely an event worth experiencing so we look forward to seeing you next year.
