I have to agree with others on dropping the International....It seems like the regionals do better because most people who attend the regionals are usually only a days ride away. I've noticed that these events have better attendance because they have been going on (in most cases) for several years and are usually held the same time or date of the year. They are run by the same members who have been running the event down to a science. They know the area for riding, attractions , and best restaurants, and find it easier to get help from local members...its is easy to get a few days off from work rather than a week or so when figuring in travel time...it also seems to me that the regional organizers strive to better their event each year.. just my 2 cents........
