<P>I totally agree with Eric.  In addition.  What is CAT 3 for if there are not CAT 3 races?  I would like to compete at ALL races against riders of my level.  I don't want to have be dragged around by the 2's for the sake of giving them a nice size field of essentially pack fillers.  Also, I can totally understand why the 4's don't want to have the 3's in there races and thus taking their results away.  When races are combined it almost always has a negative impact the lowest category of the combined group.  However, when the groups are separate there simply isn't any issue at all.  Case in point, this whole discussion would have never been prompted.</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>i simply wonder why there isn't a cat 3 field at the races. why should

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>we get to choose what field we ride with? is there really only 2 levels

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>of racers in this state? i don't think so. i prefer a cat 3 only race,

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>then i am not racing down or up but at our cat 3 level. from what Norm

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>wrote about the presidents day, it appears as though the cat 3's are the

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>largest field and for some reason we don't have our own race. note to

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>4,5's, if you are racing with 3's consider yourself a 3. are they

<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>splitting out the 4's in those races?

I was gonna stay out of it, but since Kytola has spoken . . . I rode Cherry

Pie as a 4. The race was absolutely perfect for me. I was not strong

enough to win, but I was strong enough to make it to the finish with the

lead group. No 3's were hurt in the process. They chose what race they

wanted to do. To avoid having trouble getting a paceline together, they

should have avoided getting caught out. The big field was a plus. A good

experience for everyone.
