Road Cycling - Upstate South Carolina

If you're planning a trip to Greenville, SC it would be a good idea to bring your bike. The reputation for the local group and shop rides are very good experiences both in terms of turnout & rider talent level. Stay at the [Hampton Inn downtown on the Reedy River](http://www.hamptoninnandsuitesgreenville.com/). Eat at many of the fantastic local restraurants downtown such as [The Lazy Goat](http://www.thelazygoat.com/) or one of the other [Soby’s restaurants](http://www.sobys.com/). Once of the most breathtaking views is while talking a long stroll through [Falls Park](http://www.fallspark.com/167/Falls-Park) and try not to get too scared as you walk across the gorgeous [Liberty Bridge](http://www.fallspark.com/175/The-Liberty-Bridge). Outside of Europe, we promise you've never seen such a cosmopolitan small town.  Want proof, just a few miles drive North you'll be able to ride in the foothills of South and North Carolina visiting a small slice of France at [Hotel Domestique](http://hoteldomestique.com/) which is owned by none other than 17 time Tour De France Participant George Hincapie. Greenville a gem -- it’s worthy of your vacation time, and it’s certainly worthy of the USPro National Championships, National Criterium Championships and many other USA Cycling events.  Fair warning, the terrain around Greenville can be challenging. The farther north you venture the more difficult hills and mountains you'll encounter.  Overall, Greenville and upper North & South Carolina areas are riddled with varying terrain that can quickly rival many mountain stages of any grand tour.  For this very reason is why you'll meet such a high quality of rider from this area.  It's a great place to ride and everyone you encounter on one of the best kept Greenville Secrets, The 14 mile [Swamp Rabbit Trail](http://greenvillerec.com/swamprabbit/) will probably greet you with a warm smile and a wave.
