What is the min age for juniors? A very young guy was riding in a Cat4/5 road race it freaked me out he was so young. looked like he was 12.
My parents don't really have much interest at all. They'll carry on a conversation, but aren't that interested. However, they do always remind me to stuff my face to get the BMI up, and so I do. 19% right now. Middle of the healthy range.
Also, I think it might differ by area. Around here, it's 13 I think. But I don't race, so I don't know.
