Upcoming Bicycle Rides/Races in Kansas City

My husband is a bicycle rider. He has the bibs, the jerseys, the shoes that clip into the pedals of his fancy bike, the socks, the helmet, gloves, water bottles, etc. He even survived being hit by a car on his bike.

He would kill me if I posted a photo of him on this blog, so you won't be seeing him in bike gear unless I get permission someday. Sorry. I personally think he looks super cute in his bikefit (bike outfit). Instead you get a picture of us on our recent date night to Jose Pepper's. I can't do a blog post without a photo.

I told you he was cute.
He has done a couple of the races listed below and enjoyed them, so I went on an online trek while sitting in my chair in the dining room to find some more races for him to try out.
