44.2 km/h is a good average speed for a flat Cat 5 crit around here...
Your racing age should be on your USCF license to prevent any discrepancies. What? This mega-race wasn't a USCF sanctioned event? Hmm...
By USCF regulations, any Pro racer who participates in a non-USCF sanctioned race gets suspended if I recall correctly. Really a great way to draw a good field.
26mph is a decent pace in the flats, and if 44.2km/h seems fast for a sprint, I'm guessing you don't do much racing and the Cat 4's at this crit you're going to would appreciate you sitting that one out. They'll be going 44.2km/h into and out of corners.
The more I read/hear about this "race" the more it sounds like a timed charity ride.
