I'm not surprised, but kind of disappointed. Not a huge deal for someone who isn't going to race on the road more than a handful of times a year, and won't do any NRC races, but still... lame.
I suppose it's time to start knocking out some local crits. I'm hoping being the anonymous dude that no one knows will prevent them from chasing breaks down out of spite.
So a very nice, polite good British NT rider comes to the USA to live and gets a Cat 1. It was not the correct grade for our style of riding.
