And to make it even easier, I will suspend the "late entry" price increases, the same prices will remain in effect until the show, so there really is no excuse. One of the reasons for the price increase cut-off date was to encourage everyone to get registered so that we really have a handle on how many people are attending. We need to know that for catering, and space allocation for the show and swap, among other things. It's hard to plan appropriately when everyone waits until the last minute, but we understand that everyone these days is juggling financial and time commitments and priorities. We know that a few of the Cirque's long-time supporters will not be able to make it this year, but we also know that there will be a lot of folks attending for their first or second time. That's greatt too, because it adds to the diversity of our ever-expanding group of friends.
This year, the new magazine Bicycle Times will also be attending, so it will be interesting to get their perspective, and see what they think of our little party.
Looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
