The wife and I be in Branson for the TT. Should be able to catch the end of the previous day's stage and beginning of the next.
We've got a reservation on Friday night at a B&B just a couple of miles off of Hwy 94 near Herman. Being a very flat stretch, the peloton will probably blow by there. I'll probably drive over to Augusta to watch them climb up a hill.
For the finish we have Cards tickets for a 7pm game. Hopefully I'll get to see some of the final stage.

on the start and finishing circuit in Kansas City...on the Country Club Plaza. Having worked on the start crew for the Tour "day" Georgia...it will be very exciting to see the finish on my own streets.

3rd Degree Glass Factory will be hosting a party on the course during the final stage in STL. Delmar and Union. You will be able to catch the action live twice per lap if you are willing to run around a bit, and we should have a live broadcast of the race to watch indoors... TBD.

I'm coming to MO (visiting the folks) and plan on catching the finish in Springfield and the TT in Branson. Haven't picked out the exact spot for viewing either yet.

I am considering taking most of the week off and following the race with the bike on the rack... riding the bike around the towns while waiting on the races to come through. Will either stay with friends, camp, or hotel it a couple of nights. Anyone else plan on doing something similiar? It sounds a little silly, but I am needing some time off... and this sounds like a good adventure.

End of Stage 4 in Columbia. Co-Ed Heaven and plenty of parties. Stage 5: Top of Schluersburg or Agusta VFW Hall on the top of hill.

Hermann is having several activities Friday PM and Saturday AM before the race enters town Saturday around 1pm.
The race will travel into town across new bridge down Market St. to Stone Hill Winery then loop back to 1st street passing Hermannhof Winery as they head out on Hwy 100 to Washington. The route they are taking is about 3.5 mile with many good places to watch and have fun before the race gets there. Depending on where you are you can see them twice.
Here are a couple of events planned before the race
Friday Night KOM 2 Mile TT -
Saturday 7 Hills of Hermann Ride
