I'm selfishly hoping that it's somewhere Ontario/Quebec area in the August/September timeframe. Other than NY Jones beach, which is a bit of a drive, there really isn't anything in the second half of the season.
And we used to have a bunch of races that were drivable from this area.
- Muskoka moved from Sept to early July to accommodate a full IM that only stuck around for a year.
- Lake Placid 70.3 fell victim to local politics
- Atlantic City went away after a few years
- Maine moved from late August to late July
All the new races that have been cropped up recently (Musselman, Challenge QC, Western Mass) plus the others that have stuck around (Eagleman, Tremblant, etc) are all wedged in a 6 week zone in June/July - which makes planning a season difficult if you want to do something later in the season.
Yeah, I know that we're doing well with all these races, when other parts of the country don't get as much, but why are they all wedged into the same 6-8 week span?
