Bishop becomes a dad

US National short track and marathon champion Jeremiah Bishop became a father on February 25 when he and his wife welcomed son Conrad into the world. Mom and baby are doing well. Conrad's arrival has meant a few changes to Bishop's usual pre-season plans.

"I not in South Carolina training this winter, but I am sticking closer to home for pre-season training and racing," said Bishop to Cyclingnews. He is looking forward to starting his competitive season at some local, Virginia off-road races this month.
