"Hors Categorie" means "Super Easy" in French.
That'll get them, LOL!!
I remember the only time I was lucky enough to see the Tour De France back in the 80s. Wow, what a great feeling to experience. That was back when I lived in Germany and me and the old Peugeot bike were all over Bavaria. I really respect the bike culture over there and all the great wonderful trials for cyclist. You could spend a whole day riding town to town and never have to deal with cars and traffic. What a joy!
Good luck with finding the kinds of events you want. I'll be trying to hit at least one event a month myself come spring again.
