Collin Reuter interview was very interesting. He is spot on about the Masters “bubble” - the 60 and even 70 fields are also growing - as well as juniors. IMO the growth pathway is getting more NICA kids to try CX and then keeping them in the sport post high school.

BTW there is some solid CX in the South too - NCCX (North Carolina) has been going 20+ years and we have many small colleges with cycling / CX teams.
