    Mountain Biking Team for Kids

    Those are NICA teams. There has been talks of trying to get a NICA team here in southern illinois. The problem is population in the area is too low. Lot's of our youths go ride for either SEMO mudcats or McCracken.

    They're far enough apart, spokes is an hour for me and tour de donut is 2 hours in the other direction. TdD draws a different crowd than spokes tbh.

    Definitely what Shawn said. It's nearly every saturday, we even did it last saturday in the rain. Both groups. The slowest group is a little touch and go, but for the most part, if the big ride is happening, the slower ride is happening.
