Join World Bicycle Relief and George Hincapie at The Palmetto Experience

GREENVILLE, S.C. - April 18, 2016 - PRLog -- Join Pro Cyclist George Hincapie on The Palmetto Experience, a four-day cycling ride June 10th-13th in Greenville, South Carolina, on some of the finest cycling routes in the US. Funds raised will provide life-changing Buffalo Bicycles to help students access education and connect communities with health care and economic opportunities in rural developing countries. Tucked away in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Greenville, South Carolina is one of professional cycling's best-kept secrets for premiere training.

Over the course of four days, participants will experience life as a pro cyclist from dawn to dusk. Gourmet cuisine, ride support, massages and more will complement this once in a lifetime cycling experience to support the work of World Bicycle Relief.

"I'm looking forward to participating in the Palmetto Experience for World Bicycle Relief - an organization dedicated to mobilizing people through the power of bicycles. I'm also glad that Hotel Domestique has been selected to be part of this unique cycling experience that will surely create deep impact in the communities where World Bicycle Relief works," says George Hincapie.

In the developing world, distance prevents children from attending school, the sick from receiving care, and entrepreneurs from earning enough to feed their families. World Bicycle Relief is a global non-profit that builds and distributes specially designed, locally assembled, rugged bicycles to students, healthcare workers and entrepreneurs through study-to-own and work-to-own programs. World Bicycle Relief mobilizes individuals through The Power of Bicycles so they can overcome barriers and change their lives.
