Ken,
The best advice I can give you it to give up now,
while your still ahead. After all weren't you the SOBE
Beginner Class champ in your age group last year?
If your still determined to go ahead, you must:
1) Buy the most expensive bike and wheels you can,
because speed is all in the equipment.
2)Eat all you can, the additional weight will make you
faster in the down hills, more then making up for the
extra effort required to go up.
3)Refrain from too much training as it will wear you
out for the races.
4)Buy some expensive "pro team" togs as this will mark
you as a man to be feared on the race course.
Really Ken, if you want to get serious about this road
racing stuff we should get together for a ride
sometime this spring and I'll share the vast amount of
knowledge I picked up from a summers worth of racing
Cat. 4/5 at PIR every other week and getting my wheels
blown off at the occasional criterium last year. That
is we can go for a ride as soon as I finish my latest
house project and the weather warms up.

I'm thinking of doing my first ever road race (cat
5, old man class) and was
wondering if anyone could give me any helpful hints
on road racing. I'm a
decent Mt biker, but this road thing is new to me.
Oh, and now that I road ride as well, do I have to
wave at Mt bikers while
I'm on my road bike and wave at road riders while
I'm on my Mt bike? Or am I
a "tweener" where I don't have to wave at
all....Just wondering.
