A cat4 placing in front of cat3 might be a quick category
upgrade...special upgrade not requiring extended accumulation of
points. Darwinistic natural selection. Category upgrade requires more
than just speed...bike handling is important, and this is why a time
trial win a cat1 does not make. But Tabor has everything: climbing,
descending, tight quarters--it's a good qualifier for showing true
bicycle racing ability.

I know results are important, but it would be cool if your "competition"
was any rider you were in contact with.

Maybe waiting 1 minute or so after the seniors go by, rather then having us go right away, would be a good idea? Anyone else?
