Hi Folks,

This is a good event but to my mind the timing is
the issue, and may account for the low registrations.

A lot of the female riders spoken to are focused on
Around the Bay on 19th and this has come out too late
and is too close to have take up.

I'll promote but not hopeful.

Regards
David
