    I can't see how anyone will benefit if the tour doesn't run. It won't affect me personally, but I will still be sad to hear if it doesn't. I can't imagine being someone who trains to ride (and maybe has travel arrangements worked out) only to have it cancelled last minute. I can't imagine being the businesses who prepare...by now supplies, some perishable, have at least been ordered. It's just bad, bad, bad all around if they cancel it. I hate political crap!

    The only OTHER reason to go to Rolla is to visit Ft. Leonard Wood. Not that this is always a good thing.

    My grandfather lived in Rolla for a long time in his young adulthood, but ultimately settled in Joplin and then Chicago.

    Here's to the Tour of Mo! I hope they keep it going because next year I might actually get to spectate.

    WOOHOO The tour is on!!! The race administrators agreed to be 100% transparent about their spending and Jay Nixon released the funds.

    I feel they should use the private funds for anything that could even remotely be considered an 'extravagance'. Public funds should be used for all the basics.

    At least I won't have to camp out for three days to save my spot on the side of the road (TdF)--maybe one day!

    Those email campaigns sure do work--I'm renewing my TrailNet and MoBikeFed memberships right now
