No, no pink helmet. White or Black (preferably white).

I'm thinking along these lines. Traditional. Kask or Giro, as well.

My team uses Kask, but they're optional (thank heavens!).

AJ, I've said it before - if I saw you coming up behind me, I wouldn't be able to get out of your way fast enough!
Cool helmet - looks like it could be used as a ski helmet, too.

I try to a few times each week unless I'm on recovery. Somedays I do it while still fresh and other days at the end of my workout. I've recently been accused of it while walking into church.
Lately town line signs brings it out on a regular basis.

I discovered through the USAC site that there is a crit at the airport where I work next Sunday. That would be PERFECT for me, and a good way to test the legs and fitness after the road race I'm doing Saturday. The only thing is, when I tried to sign up for it, USAC tried to tack a $10 one day collegiate license to the entry, saying it was required. Ummm...that brings to mind a couple of questions. First, does that mean it's a college only event? (It's the UC Santa Cruz Slug Fest crit, 02/24/13). Why do I have to buy a collegiate licesne when I'm not a student and am not racing for any collegiate points? Isn't the USAC license enough? Also, wouldn't I be dumb to enter a crit with a bunch of college kids???

Well, they don't have any Masters classes, but they do have all the senior categories listed along with the collegiate categories. Registration only shows 2 people signed up, so it must be mostly a day-of thing.

Took a look at the flier. The only race you can enter is the Women's 1,2,3,4. The rest of the races are collegiate only. You have to be a student and be "eligible" to be on the team. Not sure if you want of need another 1,2,3,4 experience.

Women's Open is Women's Open. You are a Cat4 Women racer, so your USAC license should suffice. There is no such thing as a USAC Collegiate license as far as I know.

The USAC registration page automatically adds the "collegiate license" to ALL of the entries. I emailed the promoter about it and hopefully I'll hear back. Yes, I know I'll probably get shelled by the 123's, but it's a race, it's a rep, and I need them! BTW, the extended weather forecast for next weekend is looking grim. I don't want to ride a RR in the rain!
Helmets - perusing eBay I found this. The Chinese are even copying the Catlike Whsiper!
