No plans for Labor Day?
Head out to Greenville, S.C., home of the 2007 USA Cycling Pro Championships. Last year's road race featured an epic battle between heavyweight hitters and Tour de France regulars George Hincapie of Discovery Channel and Levi Leipheimer, who is racing as George's teammate this season, shedding all other contenders on the climb up Paris Mountain [pdf] en route to George's win. Both have committed to returning this year, Levi having just finished third in this summer's Tour de France.
The time trial is 11 a.m. Saturday, the road race 1 p.m. Sunday. Visit the official Web site for all kinds of news as well as live video and GPS updates.

I am hoping that George can pull off another win in front of the hometown crowd here in Greenville. It should be a great weekend of racing.
