First race was small, but we were compeating agaist 2 other races in the area. (one mt bike and on cross race that was added to the scheduleat a later date then ours, its also part of a point series and they refused to resheddule theirs)

I think last year we averaged about 40-50 people per race

Yesterdays race went great, but like I said low turnout for reasons stated in my other response. Course was very dry and very fast its a 1.4 mile course and I know the a race was turning in lap times in the low 5 minute area.

Do you know your way around Orrville at all? The course we will be using this coming weekend is the same as last. Its just down the street from the high school. The 2 after that will be at Wayne collage (our new course). It is also where we stage the Milk Race from.
If you want/ need better directions let me know and I will give them to you
