I was up at the lake all week, light bike traffic as compared to past years and I am on a major Bike route! Tues and Sat even took a trip through the Weirs (by boat) and it was slower than I ever remember seeing it. Tuesday there were only a half dozen or so boats at the town docks (plenty of docking) and Saturday there were only 3 or 4 waiting! Went over to Meredith on Saturday and there was plenty of docking and had a late lunch at The Town Docks.

A friend did get stuck in bike traffic as she headed to the Weirs but it was much closer to the Weirs than in the past and she was able to bail out and travel down Paugus Bay without delay.

I would say rain, the economy and the changing demographics of bike week have taken a toll. Also the races themselves were at the beginning of bike week aren't they usually the final weekend?
