Every cat 1 I've ridden with, you know what they do when you do that to them? Let you go.

Elitist/anti-elitist rants are the zombie threads of cycling groups. Every time you think they're dead, they pop back up again. Hell, at least the elitists sometimes do it with a bit of style. The anti-elitists are so god-awful earnest. Screw the whole thing. Find your own style and rock it.

I am only a cat 3 I have never raced. I cannot tell you if it starts at cat 2. I will let you know if I ever get there.

The race REALLY starts when the light turns yellow at rush hour.
