CyclingNews coverage of Tour of Kansas City
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 08/12/2003 - 6:25am
CyclingNews diarist John Lieswyn raced in last weekend's 40th Tour of Kansas City. He wrote an interesting account of the Tour:
Race results are here and here. KCStar coverage here and here.
The race course was beautiful, a championship-quality 2.6 mile loop. With some of the neighborhood funding the organizers could hire seventeen police to ensure full closure, yet thanks to the surrounding neighborhood street design there were ways for residents to get around as well as permitting fans/racers to get in close and park. . . .
Something KC club (the promoting club this weekend) members mentioned to me was that they'd like to take their 40 year old event and get it on the National Racing Calendar (NRC).
