He makes his money out of events, not his bike shop. These attract major sponsors some have a1000 plus entries at £20-30 a time, He does n t pay a lot out in overheads
Start finnish areas are in local car parks or fields and courses are mainly on public rights of way. He organizes everything from TTs to XC marathons. Uses a lot of volunteers and staff from sponsors. He s been at it for over 10 years, and I have to say his events are probably the best around. Very slick indeed.
You work it out.
But you still don't know he makes a fortune. He might have a large turnover but that doesn't mean he makes a lot of money.
I've been running Cyclemagic for ten years - including being involved in organising mayor events such as Sky Rides and parts of the Tour de France in London - and we are successful. We don't make a fortune and, as I have said previously, I don't know anyone in the cycle trade who does make a fortune. Which is what was claimed and I questioned.
