The best way to support this is to make sure you get out there and race,
and bring your friends that are 55+. They can't make a category without
racer support.
Show up at the races that support older masters categories; you vote with
your $$ and participation. For CX, the Southern Oregon CX series has had a
women's 50+ category. A few road races and most TT's have 50+ and 60+
categories, and the mtn bike races have cat-2 50+ for women.
