The first ever Cycle & Golf Challenge event with George Hincapie at his Hotel Domestique in upstate South Carolina was an enormous success, with 100% of participants saying they would sign up for next year!
The event scoring was very unique, combing a person’s low net golf score with 3 x their cycling time on a 5-mile uphill course.
We plan to return to the Hotel Domestique May 5 - 8, 2024 to host the 2nd annual event to see who is the best golfer / cyclist.
FEEDBACK
I really loved meeting new folks who love what I love to do
The attention to detail was unmatched
The dinners and time together were awesome
Having dinner with George then cycling with him was the chance of a lifetime
You guys clearly care about the experience we had and it showed
Top notch event and I will certainly do it again
It was such a great experience - the people, dinners, hotel… it all was perfect
