The first stage of The Tour of Missouri kicked off today in KC and I was able to catch it twice as it left the city mid day and again on the return through downtown later in the afternoon. It was pretty exciting.

Monday night I stood in line for hours the get 8 autographs from Team Discovery for my youngest daughter ( cycling fanatic) who is at ASU.

This is the first year for the race and it is ranked the third top race in North America. It attracted an impressive field of riders. Five more stages to go!
