They've had an all-pavement option for road bikes the last couple of years. This year, most of the rail-trails were paved, so there was no need to go out on the highways. Also, many of the unpaved trails were pretty rough, so a lot of hybrid and even MTB riders opted for the paved bypasses.
It's hard to come up with a number, but there were quite a few who were on pure road bikes, and even more who were doing the road thing on their hybrids.
