The west coast does seem to have a fairly large number of women who race. I would say probably California followed closely by Washington and then Oregon have the largest fields and the highest levels of competition. We generally have fields around 25 to 30, though in the early season when everyone is still raring to go they can be much larger. Last year we maxed out some races at 60 and our first stage race of the season always fills up (field limit of 50) in the cat 4 field. Even the 1,2,3 field is going to have more than 50 this year, which is pretty amazing.
