Cat 1, I'm impressed. I made it to cat 2. Well, actually I placed in enough races to make cat 1, but the USCF changed the rules that year and only national team members were cat 1.

Still ride quite a bit. Cycling here in Miami is great. Organized rides 6 days a week, 50-150 people show up. Several cat 1 and 2s and a couple of ex-pros that really cane the group. Not at 5% body fat, but I'm losing weight staedily.

By the way, you can't race your bike in sanctioned events. Its too light!
