2005 Greenville Cycling Classic

The Cumberland University cycling team raced in Greenville, SC this past weekend and took home several top results.  Stephanie Hannos finished 2nd on both Saturday and Sunday in the Women's 1/2/3 race while Bjoern Ossenbrink wrapped up 10th place in Saturday's $10,000 Pro 1/2 main event.  Bjoern then took home 3rd place in Sunday's race consisting of a 9 man breakaway.  Jason Chatham followed through with a 17th place finish on Sunday as he helped to control the chase group behind the breakaway.

The mouse was at the top of the steps
at Coffee Underground.  I hear there are several
of these around town.  Anyone know the significance?
