It's a very 'fair weather' bunch. Nice day like last night might get about 40 or 50, but last week, when it as 30 degrees, there woulda been 60.

But when Tuesday racing starts, the numbers obviously drop a bit, but then we get more "weekenders" because it's warmer. There's still a few strong riders over the racing season -- mainly (so I've been told) guys that can't get to Sandown by the 6:30 race time. I think that's is why the ride began in the first place.
