Tour of Kansas City Crit Races at Lee's Summit, Mo.

We headed out to the Tour of Kansas City Crit races in Lee's Summit on Sunday. We camped out in corner No. 2 for a few of the early races and had a great time. Crit racing is a great spectator sport. You have the opportunity to see the riders go around dozens of times during one race and the action is fast-paced. The pace picks up as higher category racers take the course. And, best of all, it's free!

This first video is the start of the Masters 40 and over group. These guys are fast, make no mistake about it. They are pacing themselves at this point.

This second video is another pass from the 40 and over crowd. This was a tight corner, but it had some run off. We only saw one guy go down when he clipped a cone on the last lap. Poor guy. He got up, though, and went on. He was okay and so was his bike. His collarbone lived to tell the tale. I went over to see if he was okay, but I held off when he got up. "I can only really help if he stops breathing," I told the officer who was manning the corner.

Cross Country

Makes you want to cross country, but it's obviously a sport for younger people. Some of these wrecks would be life-treatening at my age.
