If you're bike racing on the weekends in WA, Saturday continues to dominate.
This last weekend the Michelob Ultra CR at the Port Orchard Airport had 310 participants with generous cash & prizes, while the draw of championship medals at the Masters/Juniors State Championship RR in nearby Longbranch had only 193.
Cost of participation may also be a factor with Saturday's CR at $25, while entry to the State Championship cost an additional $5 (premium?).
Heading into Crit & Stage Race season this won't be that big a factor. But race promoters should examine two things - is it really a Saturday phenomenon, or rather a cost/prize package ratio? I would surmise the later.
