Friday night, our community got some excitement when the Tour de Lafayette came to Lafayette Square. The Gateway Cup is an all-weekend series of road bike races in the St. Louis area. Friday night was the Tour de Lafayette, a bike race around our 1-mile Lafayette Park. It was crazy! There were several different races for different speeds and levels of racers. It all ended with a 60-minute + 5 lap race of professional cyclists (the 2nd place winner was on Tour de France). Though there were several crashes, on the corner C.J. and I sat, the biggest excitement was when one of the biker's water bottle flew off him and skidded and hit C.J. in the foot :) It was a fun time and so fun that with how crowded it was down here, we could just walk the block up to the park to watch! Oh, and I forgot to post two of the family pictures we took on vacation, so those are below.
The best picture we could get of racers flying by
