We experienced first hand (literally) why George Hincapie finished more Tour de France races (17) than any other rider and is considered the world’s greatest Domestique. After a 60 mile ride, including a 6 mile climb up Ceasar’s Head (6-12% grade) and 2 mile Pinnacle (18-24%) climb that defied gravity, George put his hand on my back to push me to front of the lead pack. For a brief moment, I got to experience what true power on a bike felt like, compliments of the hand of greatness.

how awesome! Still looking strong and happy post ride!
Um… that photo was taken pre-ride. I do have post-ride photos and can tell you that George looks unscathed. I suffered tremendously and don’t think the photo would be approved for viewing.
