What you descriped is very much like what we did here last Sept, and are doing again in May. (except I don't have 42000 acres

I wouldn't really call it competition, but the more events that occur, the less attendance we will have at each of them. There are guys coming here from all over, many of them traveling 1000 miles or more (Eurogods coming from Netherlands). We are expecting 50+ Cannondales, and who knows how many other brands will be here.
If there where multiple events in different areas I'm sure they would all be a great time, but we wouldn't have such a mass gathering at any of them.
Your in no way infringing on our event, as I doubt any west coast owners where planning to drive all the way across the country. But I'm sure there are folks in your neck of the woods that may have attended the ATK event, who will now attend yours instead.
It's all good, as any excuse to ride, especially with other Cannondales, is great.
