The beautiful gals above are gleaming with the excitement they experienced at the annual xXx Racing-AthletiCo event called ‘Take A Roadie Off-Road Day’. This event was created by xXx over 7 years ago and last year it was resurrected from the traditions of the original dirtbaggers. All year long, roadies work hard to keep the rubber side down on the tarmac and worry about the slightest bump, sewer cap, line into a turn – and nary a thought goes to the real obstacles that exist out there in the dirt world. This event was created for dirtbags to show roadies their mettle and gain their allegiance to the dirty world perhaps even give up a few road races for a few more dirt races. This year an outstanding number of xXxers showed up to test their will and agility in the woods we hold dear at Palos. I believe at last count we had 18 riders total. Here’s to hoping we get at least 1/4 of that group to come to the dark side next year.

Stiggity will have to explain the shenanigans held after the Pre-Palos Meltdown with the roadies. In fact Stiggity – has a lot of explaining to all of you. More to come on Meltdown-alicious news.
