Here's an image of George Hincapie by the Spare Cycles blog author Ken Conley, a cycling photographer based in California who made the trip to Missouri to shoot the race.
It's certainly great to see Hincapie in yellow for the second day at the Tour of Missouri, especially considering the hard-luck bumps his career occasionally takes. (Ken has more pix at kwc at flickr.com .)
On Thursday's 18-mile individual time trial around Branson, Hincapie finished in 6th place, but that was good enough to not only retain the lead but put a 1-minute-40 margin over second place William Fischkorn of Slipstream in the overall standings.
The winner on the day was Discovery Channel teammate Levi Leipheimer, who added Wednesday's win to ITT victories at the Tour of California, Tour de Georgia and Tour de France this year. …

The ever-popular George Hincapie won Stage 2 of the Tour of Missouri on Wednesday, propelling himself into the yellow jersey.
The 34-year-old Greenville, SC, resident is longest-standing member of the soon-to-be-defunct cycling team sponsored by the Discovery Channel. He's the only Discovery member to have accompanied Lance Armstrong on all of his 7 Tour de France victories.
Winner of the USA Cycling pro road championship in 2006, Hincapie wore the stars and stripes at races in the US and Europe this year, but gave up the title to Levi Leipheimer at the nationals over Labor Day weekend. …

A Georgia firefighter is set to begin a cross-country bicycle tour to raises money for the families of nine Charleston, S.C., firefighters who died in a furniture store fire.
The deaths of the so-called Charleston Nine earlier this summer is the largest loss of life of firefighters in the US since 343 died in New York City on 9/11. That's why the cyclist, Laddie Williams of Augusta, chose to embark on his trip at this time of year.
Williams is set to begin riding from Los Angeles soon. He expects he'll arrive in Charleston in mid-October, spending the nights in fire stations along the way. Firefighters along the route will raise money for the families as he continues his bike ride …

The understatement in this sentence in the Tour of Missouri (it starts today) pre-race write-up at VeloNews gave me a chuckle:
“Though the course lacks any major climbs, the rolling roads of Missouri are expected to take a cumulative toll.”
When my friend and I rode our bicycles across Missouri on the cross-country bike tour, we suffered one climb after another through the Ozarks in the center of the state …..

There are days, typically in the autumn, when the clouds clear away and we can enjoy the scenic views around Seattle.
I took these photos on a bike ride around Seattle a few weeks ago, and if the current weather holds, many of the same views can be enjoyed by bicyclists on the Cascade Bicycle Club's Spawning Cycle bike ride on Sunday.
At least one of the five bike ride options passes through the Magnolia neighborhood, where I took the above photo of Mt. Rainier across Elliott Bay. ….
