The event was a series of three bicycle races, including the Eldridge Hotel Street Sprints, the Downtown Criterium and the KU Campus Circuit Race.
"The only way you can make cycling work at the moment is you need
strong volunteers — a lot of them — and a selfless commitment to cycling." Bob Sanner, Tour event director, said.
Sanner and participants said they hoped to see the event return to Lawrence in future years.
