Last weekend we were in Kansas City for stage 7 of the Tour of Missouri. On Saturday, Steve Boss interviewed Chef Duffy, who cooks and does management work for the Astana team, and on Sunday after the stage he interviewed Tim Duggan, a rider for the Garmin Slipstream team. The interviews are for his Great Taste show on KRUU. The discussions revolved around food, relating to what the riders eat during the course of a stage race. The show will air this Wednesday (9/23) at 7:00 PM on KRUU.On Sunday we saw stage 7 of the race. We all had a great time; lots of action, lots of great people to talk to, and lots of interesting displays. The riders did 7 laps around Kansas City, so we got to see them flash by each time. We were in the vicinity of the start/finish line the entire time.
Two of the highlights for me, other than seeing a pro peloton in action, were feeling the rush of air as the peloton went by a few feet from me (at one point I heard the announcer say that they were averaging 35 mph), and having a 30 year old triathlete utter his surprise when I told him how old I am; he said that he thought I was in my early 40s!
I took lots of pictures; you can see them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/hmharvey1738/TourOfMissouriStage7#
