http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kcur/local-kcur-860344.mp3

Kansas City , Mo. – Brad Schrock, chairman of the local organization committee of the Tour of Missouri, and Cameron Chambers, a former national mountain biking champion join Up to Date host Steve Kraske to discuss the athleticism required of bicyclists, how individual members of a team help each other in each leg, and the incredible expenses of pro cycling.

For those who don't have the time, energy, body type, or money to race like the pros, we also take a look at some local casual cycling opportunities for people of all ages.

The Tour of Missouri was September 7 - 13, 2009. View the results here
