There's been a slight change in plans. We're now in Sedalia, MO after spending yesterday in Rolla, MO (John's College Town). We're living like nomads as we follow different stages of the race. John and Chad rode into Rocheport Wednesday afternoon after riding 25 miles from Pilot Grove. Here they are riding into town. 
Yesterday we started the day in Rocheport, MO with some shopping and breakfast and made our way to Rolla, MO to see the finish of Stage Four. 
Here's the current leader (in the yellow jersey). Christian Vande Velde of Team Garmin. 
The big finish 
We made our way that night to St. James, MO where we stayed a the Valley View Cabin surrounded by fog and rain. 
We had a great big breakfast at Diana's Diner in St. James and ventured up the hill for the "King of the Mountain" (first biker up the "mountain" gets the most points). The bikers raced by our blanket on the shoulder of the highway and we loaded up the car to get to Jefferson City, MO to see the finish. 
We're now in Sedalia, MO in this historic hotel. Katie and I will drive home tomorrow and John and Chad will bike along the Katy Trail.
