Tour of Missouri 2009

What excitement! As good a field as I saw in California last February and much better weather. I wandered over to the Start and caught some photos of the big names signing in. Then I headed over to Lafayette Park to catch the race in its lovely confines. Molly even came and joined me for a breathtaking view of the peloton as it turned the corner from Lafayette onto Missouri.

In other news: I registered for the Des Moines Marathon tonight, so now I have to get serious about training.

Here are some more pics from today's World-class cycling here in the STL (Zabriske, Landis*, Cavendish, and Big George):
