I attended the start of stage 5 in Jefferson City. We could wander around, walk right up to the teams and their cars. The cyclists were very good about autographs and pictures. The cyclists circled the capitol twice and then headed east to St. Charles. I'll probably attend the final stage tomorrow in St. Louis. This was one of the most exciting things I've seen!
1. George
2. Levi
3. One of the teams having a meeting before (Kodak?)

1. I didn't realize I had the capitol in the background. Very cool
The rest: The first circle of the capitol after the start. Amazing how fast they were going! George is in yellow. He is winning the tour so far.Last edited by uforgot; 05-02-2010 at 06:14 AM.

Yes, it was terrific being so close. Next year, I'm opening up my house to TE members. TOM party!!!!! I'll even pick up at the airport. (TOM=Tour of Missouri). I'm in the center of the state. It's perfect! Any takers? I'm also taking off work next year. I can't believe this is in MISSOURI!!!

Thanks for posting great pictures. My family is there to see them in St Louis today. They just called and don't want to leave your beautiful state.

Oh, oh, oh...I was there too! Went to Stage 4 start in Lebanon and finish in Columbia! I even got Contador's autograph! (and Svein Tuft, and Ivan Dominguez and a whole bunch of others) So many hot guys in Lycra...so little time
