Well, I think where there are alternative CTR
organizations the concept is alive and well. NATRC
seems to flourish here in Kansas, but so does MOTDRA,
which offers a 1 day format with a lot less rules.
It's basically treated at a timed ride for best
condition. I think UMECRA does pretty well with its
CTR format also.

I think if you like CTR, you need to offer a format
that is easy to understand, a pace that is fun to
ride, and venues that riders want to ride... and
they'll come...In a lot of ways, CTR is a good
training ground for endurance.
