For the first two years of the race, St. Louis served as the finish line for the Tour of Missouri. In 2009, the city will serve as the race's starting point, befitting its nickname of the Gateway City. The first leg of the race will be a spectator-friendly circuit through the cosmopolitan streets of downtown and into the many picturesque neighborhoods that make St. Louis such a culturally diverse region. The St. Louis area offers a number of great places to ride from the Great River Road to the Katy Trail. There are a number of annual races and family-friendly events held in the region, including the very popular Moonlight Ramble in August and the Gateway Cup in early September.
