Tour of Missouri News & Info

Despite a hurricane striking St. Louis early this morning (well, not not a hurricane literally--it's just a tropical depression now), leading to lots of troubles for the start line crew (equipment blowing away, etc.), the Tour of Missouri in St. Louis Sunday at 2PM is a GO!

They will use a shortened course that will avoid some potentially problem areas and flooding.

The main portion of the course that will be eliminated (based on my incomplete information I have right now) will be the portion through Forest Park. So you may want to pick out a different spot to watch the race.

Hope to see you at the race today, starting near 12th & Market, downtown St. Louis.

Though it is raining and flooding in places now (10AM), by race time the weather should be quite beautiful.

So please do come on down & enjoy the race!

Last-minute Volunteers Needed
Lots of Tour of MO volunteers can't make it because of problems in their neighborhood or flooding etc, so if you could possibly come down & help with course marshaling, we could really use the help.

Best way to volunteer would be to check in at the Cabanne House, 5300 Lindell at Union St. Louis, Missouri 63112. Go inside the house for volunteer check in.

Or come down to the volunteer check in near the start/finish line inside
city hall, Market & Tucker (12th Street). Come in the Market St or
Tucker entrance.

Either way, come down & enjoy the race--it is ON for today!

And please spread the word--if you belong to any email listservs, etc. permanent link to article: "Tour of MO in STL is GO Sunday, Sept 14, 2PM!"
