it would be better to cancel the race and save all the expenses that run into millions for traffic officers , venues etc... Sponsors would keep all their goods for next year's race. Participants will get a free entry in next year's race. Lots of people from out of CT will still have time to cancel ( loosing some money ) taking extra pressure off CT.

I would like to join but it's about 110 km from where I live. Will there be a similar ride organized on the Eastrand sometimes soon ?

I was really pissed off and did not enter 2014 due to the fact that these guys are starting to charge such prices for races. I've done 8 jocks and the price keeps going up , how many top and front riders are interested in having bacon and eggs before a race and cold pasta salad for lunch, are we doing a race or is this a picnic. And what is the point of splitting the race in 3 stages. I know we not all pros but how do you get top guys to perform if you keep stopping the race. if they want to keep this race going they must go back to the old format and reduce the entry price.

Thanks guys, I'll start with the skewer .

I'm experiencing a creeking noise coming from my front wheel only when I stand and pedal, I don't know if it is the skewer or the spokes. The skewer is quite tight and the spokes seem to be ok and all have the same tension. Can any one help?
