The winning bikes at US Pro
For the seventh year in a row, I had a great time watching and photographing the USA Pro Championship races here in Greenville, SC. After a great run here, the road and time trial national move to Chattanooga, TN next year, but this last US Pro in Greenville (for a while at least) was definitely…

The Shiv, P4, and the UCI
The UCI’s Approval Program of Frames and Forks “sees strong demand by the industry.” At least that is what the subject line of a press release that the UCI sent out a couple months ago stated. If you have read any of my past posts about the UCI, you can probably guess that I don’t…

Matthew Busche’s Radio Shack Trek
It was a great day of racing here in Greenville, SC for the USA Pro Cycling Championship. Matthew Busche of Team Radio Shack out sprinted local favorite George Hincapie to take the win in an extremely close finish. You can read more about the race here if you are interested, but I just want to…

The fastest bike at the US Pro time trial
Keeping with the theme from last year, I wanted to post a few shots of the winning bike from the USA Pro Cycling Championship time trial today. It wasn’t to hard to guess that Zabriskie, fresh from a TT win in California last week, had a pretty good chance ending up on the top step…

Ben King’s Trek-Livestrong Madone
After a long day back at work, I am still coming down from the excitement of another great US Pro race weekend here in Greenville. It was great to see 20-year-old Taylor Phinney from the Trek-Livestrong U23 development team pull off the time trial win on Saturday, but his 21-year-old teammate Ben King’s victory in…

The 2 fastest bikes in the U.S.
I wasn’t sure about the order, but before the USA Cycling Pro Championship time trial started this morning, I had a pretty good idea who would end up on the top two steps of the podium. I knew it was going to be a great race, and it certainly didn’t disappoint with Taylor Phinney edging…

US Pro 09 is history
For the last four years, I have really enjoyed having the US Pro race weekend take place right here in Greenville, SC at the end of the summer. There had been some talk of a possible location change for next year, so I was very glad to hear for sure that the event will be…

US Pro weekend is almost here
The USA Pro Championship race weekend kicks off tomorrow with an afternoon press conference. So far, I have only seen a preliminary start list for the races, so it will be interesting to find out if there will be any surprise entries…probably no major ones at this point, but anything is possible I guess. My…

Museeuw flax bikes and more
Last year, I briefly mentioned the flax fiber frames that were introduced during the 2007 Tour by Johann Museeuw, the former Belgian champion known as the Lion of Flanders. Museeuw has a range of carbon/flax models in the 2010 line, which you can read more about in a recent FrameForum piece. The Museeuw bikes are…

US Pro Championships meet-up?
The USA Cycling Pro Championship races are coming up later this month- August 29th and 30th. I am just wondering if any Bicycle Design readers plan to be in Greenville for the races. It would be great to meet any of you who are in town that weekend, so leave a comment if you plan…

I finally got around to uploading some of my US Pro time trial photos to a Flickr set. Pictured here are three shots of Dave Zabriskie, Tom Danielson, and Christian Vande Velde from the race on Saturday. I should be able to get my road race photos uploaded soon and I will update this post…

Tyler’s US Pro winning Fuji SL1
It was a great weekend of racing in Greenville and I was extremely happy to hear the announcement yesterday that the US Pro Championships will stay here for another three years. By now, you have probably already read about how Tyler Hamilton outsprinted Blake Caldwell to win yesterday’s US Pro Championship road race in an…

The US Pro races are coming soon
I can’t believe that it is already the end of August, but the US Pro Championship races are right around the corner. Just as I have for the past two years, I will be photographing both the time trial and road race and will post the shots to my Flickr account soon after the races.…

Slipstream jersey design contest
You might be wondering if this is going to be an actual design related post, or just a thinly veiled attempt to force you to view another one of my US Pro race pictures. I guess the answer is a little of both. My 9 year old commented while we were watching the time trail…

It has been a great weekend of racing here in Greenville. For those of you who are interested, I have uploaded some of my photos from the road race and the time trial to a Flickr set. This shot shows Levi Leipheimer charging solo toward the finish line to claim the stars and stripes jersey…

Eurobike and more
Eurobike is underway right now, but I am not paying as much attention to it as I would like (I am busy at work and also kind of focused on what is coming up in Greenville). If you are looking for pics from Eurobike, Fritz has posted a great list of bloggers who are covering…

Race weekend is coming
I haven’t mentioned it yet this year, but I am once again excited about the USA Cycling Championships that will be taking place right here in Greenville, SC this coming weekend. Just like last year, I will be riding in the Palmetto Peloton Project Ride, which will take place on Sunday, the same day as…
