I was in DC, work related, would have been there if not for that. I have no
problem with the ride or the format, other than designated lenght's of "pull
time".

Tuesday is the only evening of the week that I have allotted to ride.
I will be riding with the Gyros on evenings that I have to go into
work (one week a month) and with the HG group when I dont. Or if I do
a ride in the morning I might ride with you guys. It depends. I
wasnt there last night because I had riding already and didnt get back
in time to make the ride.
Like the others said... I dont think it is the ride... just the week
and weather.
If you want my opinion I would like to see it be the hammer ride that
it was 2 years ago. No rules. No specificly timed pulls. If the
group wants to do a pace line let them. If someone wants to do a
long, strong pull then let them. Just so long as we all try to go
fast. But whatever is decided i will still be out there some times.

Rick,
Keep in mind it's a holiday week. Lots of folks are off work and out
of town. The only change I would suggest is heading back to 6pm start.
This gives folks more time to make it.
I bet you see you more people next week.
