How was your last season? What Cat are you? I see that getting top 1000 in the US is only mid-way up Cat 2 - not out of reach for the dedicated cyclist - despite what everyone here thinks...

Ah, well seems you coulda maybe scored a few more upgrade points or at least gotten more experience had you kept racing.
I just started riding just over a year ago and got my cat 3 upgrade by mid-june. Hopefully upgrade again around the same time. Top 1000 doesnt mean anything to me. If that's as far as I get I won't really be close to my end goals.
