Long, Steve

Using this logic, should we also force people like David Zimbleman to
only race with the cat 1/2 riders because he's, normally, as fast as
most of them, even though he also falls into the 50+ category?
So, David, you can't ride with the 50+ guys on Sunday because you ride
faster than them. :)

Sounds a little whinny to me.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Time Trial Divisions

I am not suggesting that a new method of categorizing time trial
performance should have any bearing on a racer's ability to upgrade in
the road category. Also, if you race in a stage race then your TT time
would be compared to others in your TT category for the purpose of
determining TT rankings in the BAR (generally the TT course of a stage
race is the same across all categories). Your road category would
determine which group you raced in during the rest of the stage race.
For instance: if a racer's TT performances (whether part of a stage race
or not) consistently put him in the company of Cat 2 riders then he
would be cat 2 for TT. If he never scores a point in a road race or
criterium then he will forever be a cat 5 roady. This would make the
OBRA TT competition more meaningful.
