Tour of Missouri Update

Still on the road. Seeing the start of today's race and heading home to a puking, one-armed daughter and a tired wife.

Highlights were the entire time trial, which was great. Driving through Ft. Leonard Wood, watching the race split apart in Stage 4 on the King of the Mountains climb on highway J with a 12% climb. I believe I got the video of the exact moment the winning break broke off from the main pack. And I saw Kayle Leogrande come struggling up the climb five minutes after the pack and eventually climb into the broom wagon. The finish in Rolla was great as well. In fact, my brother-in-law's head and my hand and hat bill are on the far left bottom of this photo. Darby is the one hanging over the barrier and my camera is sitting above his left ear.

Untagged video and photos here.

    I was already in Frontier Park on Saturday before remembering that you would probably be there, too. I could have given you the shirt! I kept looking for a girl with a cast on her arm hoping to spot you all. (how is she doing, btw? I broke my foot at the end of July, so I can sympathize.)

    Also, check this painting of Dr. Who (I think you are a big fan):
