Gee wiz, where could the Cat 3 Masters find a consistently healthy-sized field where they could be competitive and even earn upgrade points? Do we need pictures for this?

Maybe you guys should finally act your age and race based on your abilities with the rest of the Cat 3's. Being older doesn't make you slow or special, it just makes you older. And if you're not strong enough to be competitive with regular Category 3 racers, then train better, Cat down, or suck it up.

I know it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. It's competition. Stop trying to make it easy.
