What are the biggest challenges facing bike racing in terms of fan engagement and participation in rural areas?



You're concerned about diluting the race's spirit, but why not make local legends and grassroots challenges an essential part of the race narrative? Picture this: a grueling climb named after a local cycling hero, or a thrilling descent through a historic trail. These elements can add depth to the race while maintaining the adrenaline rush.

To prevent overshadowing the competition, weave these stories into the course design, commentary, and promotional materials. For instance, during the race, commentators can share tales of local heroes, or display boards along the route can highlight notable moments in cycling history.

By doing so, we can strike a balance between preserving the race's intensity and enriching the overall experience for both cyclists and fans. 🚴♂️🏔️📜
