Hey I made the Sports Page! (in an article about George Meyer
Here's: https://greenvillenews.com/apps/pbcs....10/1038/SPORTS an interesting article on a local cyclist who has had great success in the Assault on Mt. Mitchell Ride. What is amazing is he only rides 1/2 the year. Oh and the rider behind Mr. Meyer in the yellow jersey
is me!!
This picture is from a training ride put on by the Foothills Cycling Club on 4-15

That was a nice article, I only wish our newspaper would dare to print an article such as that. It's ball sports and Nascar all the way. I'm sure this year with Lance gone the Tour De France will hardly be mentioned.

Actually the ride started in Spartanburg, but the Greenville News did the article Greenville about 30 miles away. The Spartanburg paper had 3 writers last year "trying to train" for Mt. Mitchell and took turns writing about their experiences. Where I work, it is definitely not popular to bicycle, but making the sports page was a big hit!
