Tour de Paris Landing Results

The rainy weather cleared up just long enough on Sunday for the final day of  Tour de Paris Landing.  Really - we had one more little rain shower at about 5:15 pm on Sunday as if to put an exclamation point on our rainy weekend.  And, as I am writing this on Monday morning - it is once again just pouring down rain!  But while the sun shined on Sunday we had lots of fun!

USA Cycling officials getting ready to start.  It was a great day for a bike race
in Henry and Stewart Counties!

Last leg of the race coming over the Tennessee River / Kentucky Lake from Stewart County.

Congratulations to Group A (age 18-39) Winner -  Andrew Crater from Asheville, North Carolina and to Group B (age 40-56) Winner -  Jason Tatum from Nashville, Tennessee.  Thanks to everyone for riding in Tour de Paris Landing and making our first bike race a big success!
