Agreed on low participation count - my comment about Sommer sports going down hill is not in regards to participation, but the actual delivery of their events. It seemed that the events over the last 5 years had gone down hill in terms of quality. I understand that with the cost and lower participants, results in more cuts, but I know a handful of folks that refuse to pay the Sommer Sports pricing for a 70.3 that was nearing some WTC branded events. I looked forward to starting my season off at the 70.3 in March, so sad to see it go (though I would not do the course laid out due to police issues of 7 x 8 mile loops).
Hancock housing development is wild - thankfully lots of great places to ride, and Monteverde, Ferndale, Howey In The Hills are still good riding for the area. Sunday riding has definitely been the best though, especially during football season
