To my fellow Masters 4/5 racers: well done all series! Thank you for being safe, smooth and courteous. While I had a rough go of things, I appreciate the pace, the attacking and the way the group worked well together all series. It was very rewarding for me as I was challenged by the weather and by each one of you. See you all in the peloton soon.

Isn't the penalty for that relegation to Cat 6?

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Quick couple of things-

Please don't recross the finish line after your race is done or during
warmup. It sets off the camera. We had a Cat 5 racer who ended up
being scored in the Cat 3 races because he was shown crossing the
finish line. Melanie had to go look back through the Cat 3 race
finishlynx file to figure out the Cat 5 racers was only warming up.
This took time.

Also- remember number placement is critical. Please take the time to
put your number on correctly. Here are some samples:

For those of you who rode to Banana Belt WELL DONE. But, please think about the weather and visibility. We came upon riders in that fog who were without lights. I do not think you realize how hard you are to see. It was very frightening to suddenly have riders two abreast appear out of that fog.

PLEASE BE VISIBLE ---It would really wreck my day to hit a racer on the way to a race with my van full of junior racers. (It was the kids who pointed out the hard to see riders and discussed how amazed they were at the lack of lighting.)
