The Tour of Missouri’s 120 cyclists, including participants in the 2008 Tour de France and the Olympics, will feature 15 teams from the U.S. and five other countries. The cyclists are expected to arrive in Rolla around 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11. The parking lot across from Castleman Hall will include a Health and Wellness Exposition and the spectator area for the finish line. Big screens will televise the entire race, which starts in Lebanon, goes through Fort Leonard Wood and enters Rolla on Old Route 66.
Several hundred volunteers are needed for this event. For additional information, check out the Tour of Missouri website at http://www.tourofmissouri.com/.
