It is a second growing year for DD and with the inevitable pains that an ever changing environment (both NE and DD) brings, it was always going to be challenging. We know that the numbers of riders has fluctuated, the race formats have varied, etc, etc, but we are lucky that there is a strong nucleus of riders who want to race and support the cause in these fledgling years when the series tries to create an identity. I too hope that we can get a 2007 format that better suits the riders and that meets the requirements of New Era (or others). I know that when I go racing all this stuff seems unimportant, but I'm grateful for the feedback that I've received from the 620 riders to help shape DD next year and going forward. Tim |
