I agree with that. I've never been one for doing lots of races per year but if more of the Lakes classics and other events were EOD I'd probably enter a few more. However I do have some sympathy for race organisers who have to deal with large numbers turning up for races which clearly can't handle the traffic, Borrowdale springs immediately to mind.
Perhaps an either/or approach such as at Duddon might work better?
