I was about to say, "Aw, **** yeah, congrats!". But I could be a cat 1 MTB'r next year if I bought a license this year.

It's better to be Cat 1 at something than nothing at all.

Hell, I'm USPS-Pro level in IT with my level of experience

I've never seen a USCF mountain bike race. Do they exist?

No, USCF was just road. But since USAC is all about 'road' (NORBA= just dustier), they decided the distinction was redundant. - TF

Members currently categorized as Semi-Pro may choose either Category 1 or Pro designation for the 2009 racing season.
Ha, so they get to decide whether they want to get obliterate the experts or get crushed by the pros... awesome.
I'm glad I got my legit pro upgrade not too long ago. This puts the semi's in a bit of a conundrum... although I'd be willing to be that 95% of them will go up and not down.

*edited for spelling, thanks ElJamoquio
