Reid, Pam

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.



Pam

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.
