North Garden resident Benjamin King, 21, took the USA Cycling Professional Road Race Championship on Sunday, September 19, and is the youngest biker to do so in the race’s 25-year history, the AP reports. King finished the 110-mile course in 4 hours, 44 minutes, 56.9 seconds.

    You must be kidding- this kid may be Ben King, but he is certainly not THE Ben King who won the championship in SC.

    Man, we sittin here talkin’ bout CYCLING. Not basketball, not football, not baseball, not soccer. CYCLING.

    Name me a sport, besides lacrosse, that’s easier to dominate than CYCLING?

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
