Great question...one thing is that JR's stop racing
and they can be 15%-30% of the turn out at some Mt
Bike races.
Other then that I would love to know the answer.

What I'd really like to know about this attendance
drop-off phenomenon
is if it is causative or symptomatic?
In other words - is the cause of the attendance drop
off because people
simply don't want to race after that date?
Or is the drop off a symptom of the highly
compressed schedule inducing
burn-out, and therefore, lack of attendance?
I'm not meaning to be argumentative, just that
clearly understanding the
situation requires an accurate diagnosis.

10 years and you can see the drop.
Thanks

Sounds good as long as we don't wind up with yet
more races stackedfrom late February through May.
Remember the tread from a few months ago
discussing
why is the racecalender so heavily weighted to the
earliest part of the season andgoes through the
doldrums just when the weather is at it's nicest?

Doesn't
anyone go to church on Sunday anymore? Bunch of

point. Are cyclists generally religious or
not???Kori

In an attempt to decide which races to focus on
(since I would really like to do all of them but
know
that's not a sustainable approach) I'm wondering
what
kinds of MTB series are out there this year, and
which one offers the best prize money. Yep, I'm
not
looking for any more trophies on my mantel, just
going
straight for the mercenary incentive. Of course
I'll
also be weighing the amount of single track in
proportion to the distance to drive (and
conflicting
road races), but the dollars will be a very
influential factor. Mike? Randy? Petr? What
are
you serving up this year? Looking forward to it.
