Thanks for doing the math, Dave! I hadn't done that yet. As a testament to how social media changes things, however, I think I've seen 400 calls before so times change. MTBCast is evolving and will probably take more of a backseat with social media becoming more the place to get far more timely information. I can only put calls up once I process them (edit, stitch a couple together if necessary, post) and often that is around my day job. I don't put out as many episodes as I used to so maybe that contributes to the slowdown but again, more timely info can be gleaned on FB is part of that. The only thing I see getting lost in this is that racers now target their status to friends and family. So there's less chance of people really getting excited about them and following them. I remember people really getting into other racers just from hearing their status and tracking them. So some of that will be lost as racers target their message on social media. In the end, it is what it is. Technology changes, times change. The only way I see making the race more organic is to put limitations on it. Tighter rules, etc as have been talked about. It may be too late for that, I don't know. FWIW, I post the call links on FB because that's where people are following. I just want to make the calls available to whoever wants to hear them.
