Me and some buds had so much fun at the Dirt Riders Charity Race that we decided to
go to the White City dealio and try our luck. Man, were we glad we did.
It was me (Chris Smith, web geek), Kyle Stinebaker, Mike Wade
and my neighbor/new member Greg Gourley. Kyle and I raced together in the Team C class
and Mike and Greg teamed up in the +40 class. We all did great and had a ball.
The sun was shining, it was 60 degrees and the course was fun.
If it was wet, we all agreed that we'd have done one lap, then quit like the girly men we are.
It was held at Cahokia Creek Dirt Riders just outside of White City, which is the next
exit south of Litchfield Illinois on I-55.
One loop was 8 miles, which is easy because their clubgrounds are about 700 acres!
A lap took half an hour, jeez.

That's it, I spent the rest of the time racing. We had a blast.
The course was challenging without being too hard, the laps were long, but fun.
We're goin' back next year for sure!
