True, but I also think it’s ok to mix it up on the schedule – not everyone can do every race. 

There’s a balance in there somewhere, but not everyone/everything can be accommodated.

I think that we definitely need more races in NM, but I agree with Patrick that it would be nice to have them well spread during the year, not 90% of them before May!

Fortunato

Stephen,

I’m not sure what the calendar looks like next year, but the Ft. Davis Hammerfest was held on the weekend prior to Easter, the Adoption Exchange the weekend following Easter, and the Cavern City Classic on April 18th – 19th.  Many people are training for Gila around this time also.  Although your stage race sounds great, this seems to be an already busy time.

Patrick H.

Hey all,

I am working to put on the stage race(not an omnium) for next year, that i did not do this year, and I am looking at the weekend of April 9-10 2016 for the date.

Easter falls on March 27 2016 next year.

Any conflicts you all see? 

For your all your info, it will be a 3 stage race. TT, either a crit or a circuit race and a road race. Either the circuit race or the road race will, possibly, have a section of dirt in it, Hence having it on Paris-Roubaix weekend.  

Please let me know if you know of a conflict with this date, from you or others. Thanks
