I hope it gets loads and other adventure racing get's popular.
Look at it this way, RAAM gets Z listers racing it all the time, not exactly mainstream. I know with TCR you have to prove worth for entry, I guess TD will get the same. It's good diea.

RAAM gets more coverage in the US and is still well known across the cycling world. Pretty much every ultra race is compared with it.
PBP doesn't do any advertising and it's always been very popular.
I figure if I knew about any events when I lived in Mildura then they're pretty 'well known' in cycling terms. Normal people will never give a shit though.
But it's still all niche. There's a limit to how many people want to race a bike for 2 weeks +

I dunno, did a load more people enter that Scottish 24hr because he raced it?
All depends how much coverage it gets I guess.
