Rides and race scheduling

[Shawn Gossman]

Do we have too many overlapping organized bike rides and racing events in the region?

For example, Spokes for Strokes and Tour de Donut were on the same day. Both of these events are for a good cause and can be very popular. One event robs the other event of riders.

Do you think race and ride organizers should band up, cooperate with one another and try to schedule things where races and rides are not overlapping to help encourage riders to all events?

Would something like this be beneficial to the cycling community in the region?

What are your thoughts on this issue?

They're far enough apart, spokes is an hour for me and tour de donut is 2 hours in the other direction. TdD draws a different crowd than spokes tbh.
