This will be the 6th year that CEO Challenges has hosted a cycling event with 17-time Tour de France finisher George Hincapie at his home in Greenville, South Carolina.
The weekend includes sag supported rides and the highlight is Sunday's 2-mile timed ride up Paris Mtn to identify the best CEO cyclists!

Don't miss this rare opportunity to REALLY get to know a true cycling legend. Participants have the opportunity to bike the same roads where George did all his serious preparation for the Tour of California, Tour de France, Spring Classics, and the USA Pro Challenge.
George not only leads all rides, he attends the dinners, gives us a personal tour of Hincapie Sportswear, and is our host for a reception at his home with his wife, Melanie.
And on 'race day' George will accompany each person across the finish line at the top of Paris Mountain. At the end of the weekend you will understand why George was the most-liked pro on the tour, as well as one of the toughest.
We will be the first group to enjoy accommodations and meals at the beautiful new Hotel Domestique (onwed by George & Rich Hincapie)!
The weekend includes on-site coaching and tips from Troy Jacobson, the head Endurance Sports coach for Life Time Fitness, former pro triathlete and creator of the industry leading indoor cycling workout video series, Spinervals Cycling. Coach Troy will be training alongside everyone as well as providing private training consultations over the weekend.
For CEOs that have a passion for cycling and the Tour de France this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed!
Feedback from previous participants
"That was one incredible weekend! Everything clicked just right. Thanks to Ted for setting up such a great event. Thanks to the Hincapie family and friends for being so generous with your time. I can’t believe how much time George was willing to spend with us. No other rock star would do that with a bunch of noobs It was a brief encounter but an amazing experience, and I consider you all new, good friends." - Dan Goese
"The experience was way above expectation. I can't think of many other sports where you can have an opportunity to see first hand the differential between weekend warriors and someone at the top of the sport. The Hincapie family couldn't have been nicer or more hospitable. Truly rare in this world of the big sport ego." - Tom Tuggle
"The CEO Challenge by far exceeded my expectations. This was the best riding I have EVER done (including compared to the Pyrenees during the Tour de France). George is a fantastic guy and he let us into a little piece of his life." - Tim Hockey
"An amazing combination of physical challenge with high powered executives makes for a truly memorable experience, and riding with George put it over the top!" - Joe Gagnon
From George:
"I am excited to host the CEO Cycling Challenge in my home town of Greenville, SC. I look forward to showing you the roads where I do some of my most important off season miles... roads that I consider to be some of the best training rides in the world.. see you in September!"-- George Hincapie
