"I first came to Greenville for the National Championships in 2007 and little did I know that in 2016 I would become a resident of this amazing town. There is a huge cycling community in the Upstate and as an ex-cyclist and current mega fan of the sport, I am super excited to see that big time bike racing will be returning to downtown Greenville! If you are a fellow cycling fan or absolute newbie to the sport, come out and enjoy what I know will be an epic event!"
