George Hincapie
George Hincapie has ridden in more Tours than anyone ever — seventeen in all. After settling in Greenville and opening a cyclist-friendly boutique hotel, Hotel Domestique, just minutes from Glassy, Mountain Park and Valley, he partnered with The Cliffs to develop special programs and leads private and group rides year-round.
Christian Vande Velde
Christian Vande Velde’s cycling career includes a 2008 Team Time Trial victory at the Giro d’Italia; a 2011 Tour de France Team Time Trial win and Best Team victory; and he is a two-time top 10 Overall Tour de France finisher (2008 and 2009). Now known as the voice of cycling for NBC and NBCSN, Christian is vocal about his passion for the sport and eager to share his advice and experience with our members.
Bobby Julich
One of the only Americans ever to finish on the podium in the Tour de France, Bobby Julich brings his unparalleled experience and passion for the sport to The Cliffs’ growing group of avid cyclists. As Cycling Guide, he leads group rides, skill clinics and more. He is best known for his expertise in the time trial — one that brought him overall wins at Paris-Nice, the Eneco Tour and Critérium International, as well as a silver medal in the 2004 Olympic Games time trial.
