Christian Vande Velde is a world-renowned member of the cycling community, famed for his fourth place finish in the Tour de France, his work as a broadcast analyst for NBC Sports and for his very public choice to come clean about his own struggles with doping.

Vande Velde will share his unique perspective on biking in the southeast, both as a pro and as a recreational cyclist, and talk about why he chose the Southeast to live, work and play, during this year’s Southeast Biking Symposium.
Ashley Trexler is a freelance writer and inbound marketing specialist based in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
