It may take a while but Bike Week may go away completely in future years unless some draw is created to bring back the crowds. Many people thought that the concerts instituted last year would make a big difference, but they were a flop.

Agreed- I have taken to calling it NH bikeweek, given the number of people that stay in Conway, Loon and Waterville. It has definitely changed!
