This past week, Appalachian State University and Wake Forest made the Carolinas proud with their Div 1 and 2 cyclocross titles. Carolina Cycling News is looking for how we can contribute to the growth of CX here in South Carolina. We were dreaming of a night of Gvegas Cross as we rang our cow bells for the SC state cyclocross championships. There we ran into Eric Christopherson and got the 411 on his secret weapon. Then on Sunday Neil took part in the Mark Knights charity ride with the over 200 cyclists who turned out in support. Then on Tuesday we experienced the enthusiasm in Greenville for the launch of our Bicycle Master Plan process. Also this week, we took a look at Southeast pro rider, Brent Bookwalter’s impressive year.
