When I saw the pdf/excel list with the 250 or so it certainly 'caught my attention,' as did your above acknowlegment of the same stats.
I just went looking for an attendance update as a result of your post....Could find none. Hopefully there was massive surge between the pdf/excel of April 22 and May 1 (after April 30 there is some type of late fee surcharge).
Guess we should brace ourselves..... BRAG has to breakeven.
I went back to the BRAG site and read thru the history for recent attendance - & ..... you may be well aware of the stats I am about to post (started in 1980) .... found the following attendance figures:
2008 - 1700; 2009 - 1500; 2010 - 1110; 2011 - 1100; 2012 & 2013 - could not find it posted.... do you know roughly what the attendance was for those last two years?
Last time I rode was 2001.
Please let me know if you hear any concrete/confirmed further info, as will I.
