Speed thrills

Saint Louis Post-Dispatch

 
Here are distance and speed numbers from the Tour of Missouri to think about when you’re huffing and puffing (as 10 Speed does) on that false flat, 1 percent upgrade northbound on Grant’s Trail by Grant’s Farm …

Stage 1: 85.3 miles, 27.6 mph

Stage 2: 125.6 miles, 27.4 mph

Stage 3: 18 miles, 2,500 feet of climbing, 27.3 mph

Stage 4: 133.3 miles, 17 mph headwind, 26 mph

Stage 5: 126.8 miles, 26.2 mph

Stage 6: 74.2 miles, 28.3 mph

Not the top pros? What?! The winner of the 2007 Tour de France was in there as well as several stage winners. There were US based teams present too but Discovery’s presence made it a top flight race. Iwas great to have such a wide range of racers so that great local boys like Brad Huff and Dan Schmatz could tear it up…and boy did they!
