Any word on a big un in the summer?
a few words. Read all of it before going off on one…
The summer one probably won’t happen again. The fact that the event was competing for entries with loads of other events (there are a lot in the summer nowadays) meant that the last one only just broke even, causing a lot of grief and anguish (you may recall the ‘under threat’ threads on here).
I’m also waaay too busy as a paying punter at races myself in the summer.
In contrast, the winter event normally sells out, perhaps because there’s not much else going on at this time of year. There’s more time in my life to get it organised and it’s just a more enjoyable experience 😉
Nobody wants to organise an event if all it does is make your hair fall out.
So….the ‘big’ summer event will perhaps move to the winter slot. so a big winter one. Not sure how long the race will be, maybe there would be more than one race…it might even move a few weeks back so that we’ve got bluebells on the course.
Think ‘Strathpuffer but closer to civilisation but not as long and with cyclocross bikes welcome’ and you’ll be getting there.
