Hi We have the same Cat's 1 through 5 designations up here. you can also enter most races on a day license, up to 3 I believe.

Here are a couple of web sites you can check out.

www.albertabicycle.ab.ca / www.canadian-cycling.com/English

I hope this helps

We also have categories for "Fawkin' Buddies" and "Oh, Geez, Eh!" level racers. ;)

Last year I competed in a special 'Hoser' category. We were required to drink strong beer instead of water/sport drink, eat back-bacon, and wear toques under our helmets. Instead of a starters pistol, some guy just yelled "Take off, eh!"

Nearly got eaten by a friggin' polar bear at turn 3, eh.
