Bert,

Those are tough weekends for me and might be for others for the same reasons. Juana's is a long weekend for several out-of-town commuters such as myself and others. Condos are rented and Juana's has become an end of summer vacation for many who bring the entire family. We usually start showing up Wednesday and Thursdays and some don't leave till Monday. Putting RTI on prior/following weekend makes it tough decision if you have to choose and Juana's will win.

Just to clarify, are you proposing an RTI for this year 2013?

I would really like to see RTI return to the event it once was but short notice, Juana's, etc. puts you behind the 8 ball.

I love this distance race.
