Tour of Missouri

Ever seen a professional bike race? The first Tour of Missouri is coming to town, the final race of the six day event on Sun, Sep 15. The St. Louis leg will be a circuit race, meaning the race will do several laps. It will pass pretty close to Concordia, following Forest Park Parkway from downtown and then heading north on Debaliviere, the street that heads up from the History Museum. Top pros will be there, like George Hincapie and Tour de France winner Alberto Contador. Speed, color, all the thrills of NASCAR but these guys are actually working. I'll be helping out as a course marshal for the race.
