I would offer that all riders are able to ride at their own level of ability....in their appropriate Category, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 categories, where age is not a factor, but ability is. Masters age categories allow for another way to sort the competition....by age, not by ability.

Well, at least sometimes. Seriously, I think the proposed change provides a good option for people to race at their own level of ability. Someone in an older age group can hold a national record for a younger age group, so why not allow riders to compete in a younger group?
