In case you couldn't tell I'm a bit disgruntled as road (and track) participation has seen a big decline in the past 5-10 years. USAC has done an awful job at fostering participation and growth after the big increase due to the Lance factor. Doesn't help when we have things like Zwift, Gravel and Red Hook taking our racers away.

Nobody is "Taking racers away." If people switch to gravel it is of their own volition.

I've heard similar sentiments more than once.
