It sounds as if the Tour de Belleville was a big success, or that is at least what my newspaper, the Belleville News-Democrat, reports.
The second-year event drew more than 1,000 people, which doubled what the event drew in 2007. Below is a QuickTime video shot and edited by a friend of mine, Assistant City Editor Brad Weisenstein. The video was shot just outside our office as the cyclists crossed South Illinois Street (Illinois Route 159) on Lincoln Street.
Enjoy!Labels: Tour de Belleville
