Decline in Races - What you said?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'd like to thank all the commentators on the question I asked and I think the outcomes were pretty clear, which I've trapped here. It looks like the end maybe nigh for the fling (see below):
1. Too Expensive (or not enough value)
2. Too many alternative races and places to ride
3. Not enough promotion particularly to younger age groups
4. Not family orientated enough
5. Making a state based series might get some interest back.

So the primary suggestions to the rider are:
1. Dont sweat and go to club races
2. Plan to ride away with friends

Found: Mitsubishi Car Key

Firstly thanks to the person who found, then handed in to the corner shop at Terrey Hills, my phone yesterday - it had fell out of my jersey pocket along Long trail. Good Karma heading your way!

When I picked up my phone the guy also had a key for a Mitsubishi - I thought it may have been mine as I drive one but alas it wasn't (spare key was at home).

So...if anyone has lost a key along Perimeter / Long trail recently let me know!
