The two-day event begins with the Cliff Drive Classic Saturday, a challenging 3.7-mile course that winds its way through a northern Kansas City neighborhood.

Sunday's race is a criterium on a figure-eight course through the streets of downtown Overland Park. The race's Pro-I-II defending champion is Health Net's Scott Moninger.

Team Kaos members expected to attend are Rob Helton, Chris Spence, Chad Headlee, Joe McWilliams, Tim Farnham, Sebastian and Jason Kingsbury, Marco Vasquez and Morgan Chaffin.

Regardless of his performance, Helton will have a memorable weekend. He will marry fellow racer Megan Hottman on the start line before the Pro-I-II race Saturday.
