Tour of Missouri Final Stage

April and i took the family to St Louis to visit with a friend and watch the final stage of the Tour of Missouri. St Louis is awesome we had lots of fun and saw some neat sights. The St. Louis Zoo is awesome. We caught the race twice its pretty weird that there are two videos on youtube that were taken very close to where we were sitting. THe first one . Pretty effin cool i must say. We got on the metrolink (train) and rode to Union Station and caught the finish. I have to say that of all the races that i've competed in and been to it was awesome. We've had track nationals here in indy and the atmosphere was nothing like this i've ever seen before. We caught the finish and we were no joke no more than 20 feet towards the finish from where this video next video was taken
. It was awesome thats for sure. I put hunter up on my shoulders he told me that one of the post offices guys won and he was riding no handed. Thats so cute then i had to show him that the Toyota-United guys wear red-white and blue. I heard something hit the barriers as they went by but didnt'know Brad Huff wrecked untill the other riders came back to check on him right in front of us. I got some great pictures and a couple videos but i'm waiting for them to be emailed to me. I guess the verdict on Floyd Landis came back today. Its kind of a bummer. But i dont' think it really changes anything for me. To point fingers at him wouldn't be fair in my book considering it seems most of the great heroes of the sport seem to wrapped up in a storm of rumors, suspicion and doubt. I'm not saying that the new generation of "clean" riders shouldn't be supported i'm just saying that to make Eddy Merkcx a legend and then make Floyd a villian isn't fair. I'll still be a fan no matter what happens.
