Shucker,

That seems like an easy supply & demand deal. If people didn't want to race their guts out for baked goods, the race would have poor attendance. Other events that have cash money prizes have low attendance. Go figure. Vote with your feet.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Racing For Pies?





Hello OBRA,



I am usually not one to complain about payouts at bike races because I do race for fun, however the Cherry Pie Road Race just bugs me. I have heard the past couple years it is the biggest road race of the year in reguards to attendance, yet all you get for placing is a CHERRY PIE??? You train all winter, and if you place all you get is a pie? No one else as a problem with this?



What do other people think of this? I know a couple weeks ago there was some talk about prize lists and payouts at races. Why do so many people show up especially people from out of state to race for Pies?



Maybe OBRA people just like racing for pies, and in order to increase summer race attendence promoters should drop cash prizes and give away pies!



I do want to thank the promoter for putting on such a great event, and taking the time out the their schedule to put on the event, I would just like to see you do better then donated pies as your prize list.
