More people are cycling which is good, but they are doing different things from what they used to.
TT numbers are down, but, last time I looked, they were high for the fast courses but low for slow ones. And it must be very hard to put on a road race, especially in the south east.
But the whole sportive scene is pretty new and so is Ultraracing, which gets talked about plenty on here.
As a club we (Westerley) are going through a bit of strategy and objective setting now. I think most people recognise that we have to do different things to what we did in the past if we want to survive.
Eg We used to do loads of club TTs on the amersham road, but not many people want to do them now, especially new members. FWIW I haven't done one on there for a few years on there as the traffic is a bit aggressive on the SC bit near gt miss.
