> thanks for your concern. categories are designed to maintain appropriate field sizes and allow riders to compete with those of a similar skill and fitness level. weekend races have the luxury of providing time slots for small fields, but at blind date we have just over three hours to fit everything in. i assure you, we do not intend to make racing any less fun for anyone, nor do we question the importance of amateur competitive athletes who happen to be female and between the ability levels of newbie/heidi swift. it's just that so far, that demographic has smoothly placed itself in the provided categories and the quality of competition has appeared to have worked out well. i'll admit- i can relate. i've considered adding an "mens 34yr old A minus" race for my own benefit after the last race of the night is finished, but everyone would surely go home before i was done and tearing down by myself would suck it. -tony
