Photo Shoot: USA Cycling National Championships 2012 (Greenville, SC)
Following sponsored teams at the race in Greenville SC for the 2012 USA Cycling National Championships in the Time Trial and Road Race. We were tasked with capturing stills and video of our teams and athletes utilizing the products we distribute nationally. While only a few of these photos are what we like to use for promotional purposes the rest help to tell the story of the day, and the race. Some of them are just personal favorites too. It's exciting each year when we get to shadow a Pro Continental Cycling team for a few days. This day's photos cover the Time Trial National Championships.
