Tim working hard in the press room. The world famous Jodi “with child” Hall is behind. She isn’t as confused as she looks…

As I type this I’m sitting in the press room at the Tour of Missouri (ToM) with Tim and trying to make plans for this race. It’s the usual chaos: figuring out images, catching up on emails, and dealing with snafus. However, we did take care of one objective, go to Waffle House. This time we dragged along the official ToM race photographer Mia Watts and media relations manager Jodi Hall. I ate till I wanted to puke, which is standard, and then stole a Waffle House mug, also standard operating procedure for ROAD Magazine.
