Not everyone is unwilling to travel. We Southern Oregonians basically have to
travel all the time to race. Flip the situation and imagine having only two
races that you don't have to travel for.

Thus, should we assume that the STATE'S racing really occurs in PORTLAND?
This is just an observation that I have made numerous times, during the
years that I raced (and loved both Southern OR courses during the old Pear
Blossom weekend).
I think the question should be why don't racers want to travel anymore?

Richard,
It looks to me like the # of racers was down in ALL catagories for the
District Road Race. There were only 7 men in the 30-34 age group for example
and this is usually a much larger group. I hope that no one makes an
assessment based on one race's data of the overall health of women's racing
in Oregon and thus suggest that we should limit the opportunities for women.
Both Monday night PIR racing and the MT. Tabor Series have had GREAT
turnouts for women in all catagories.

Just curious...
There has been talk on this board of how few racing opportunities there are
for
women, however, we had a great road race course and promotion for the state
championships this weekend, and if memory serves there were six women total
(three senior and three masters)?
I hope lack of participation does not further reduce the opportunities for
women
to race, however, I fear it will.
