Weekend of Cycling!!

This last weekend was filled with lots of tough physical activity and cycling......It all started with a bike trip on the Katy trail (130miles) to Jeff City (more on that coming Thurs.), was followed up by a 1/2 Marathon Sunday morning and VIP treatment for the final stage of the Tour of Missouri Sunday afternoon, where the worlds best cyclist, including many Tour De France riders, completed a 600mile race across the State of Missouri..............


Here's the Re-Cap!
Sunday Morning was the Lewis & Clark 1/2 Marathon.....It also just happened to be right in the middle of Hurricane IKE--5 inches of rain in just a couple hours and I ran right through it all.....Lots of fun, very, very wet & windy!!
Someones Car in the Parking Lot of the race.....
TOM Finish--at 40miles per hour!!!!


At the race we were treated like stars in the VIP tent right at the finish line....Following the race we caught many of the racers heading back to their team bus's--These are the "Stars" of cycling and all of them were very gracious and friendly......
