Ken,



The best advice I can give you is to quit while your

still ahead. After all weren't you the first place

finisher in your category and class in the SOBE series

last year?



If, indeed, you do intend to continue this foolish

pursuit there are a few ideas I can share with you.



1) Purchase the most expensive bike and wheel set you

can because the speed is all in the equipment.



2) Eat a lot to bulk up, the extra weight will lead to

faster descents, more then compensating for the slower

speed up hills.



3) Don't train too much as this will leave you tired

for the races



4) Buy a set of expensive "pro team" togs. This will

intimidate the rest of the field, giving you a

competitive edge.



Seriously though, Ken, if you'd like the benefit of my

experience racing every other week in the Cat. 4/5 and

masters races at PIR last summer and a few criteriums

where I got my wheels blown off, we should get

together for a couple of rides this spring. That is

once I finish my house projects and the weather warms

up......and I've finished my "bulking up" program.

Email me.

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.
