Colin tweeted the other day about a plateau in the number of cyclocross racers in the US:
.@cyclocross asked, and the answer surprised me — looks like the size of the American CX scene has plateau’d since 2012. #hype pic.twitter.com/eGdtki1tAy

This got me thinking: are the numbers stagnant across all US regions? Are some places shrinking, and others growing? Here in Colorado there’s a general perception that numbers are down this year, are we seeing something real? Colin was nice enough to extract a data set that contained state info and send it to me so I could pursue some answers to these questions. State data became reliable in 2013 – apparently before that, the scene in NULL was super hot – so that’s what we have here.
