A few years ago, I raced my Gazelle in the Cat 4 race. Even won a prime. Unfortunately, it would not qualify since it has ergos.

And I wish I was 35 years younger, when I was 22 and riding Cat 1-2 races every weekend.

At age 57 I still do fast group rides on my vintage bikes, but I think more all the time about this vintage body hitting the tarmac at speed, or wadding up a favorite bike that can't be replaced.
