I think, or hope, he meant something else, which I have at least 4 hilarious replies to, but cannot post for fear of getting banned.

USAC has deemed that my CAT1 license from OR (OBRA) is not sufficient for an upgrade from 2->1 in USAC.
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.

I come from the old school of racing my way into fitness. I'm trying to get back into race shape to be able to get back to the NRC, USA Crit, UCI stuff. THis year will just be getting reaquainted with the pain. Pull weight over the winter then be up to speed for next year.
Racing at 228 is tough when you outweigh guys by 50 or more pounds.

Not sure yet. Trying to get in as many as possible but you know some of my home issues which prevent me from getting to some of the stuff I want to get to. Just playing by ear on a lot of it. WOuld like to get to the USA Crit Series finals for sure and may take a run at Masters Nationals in Ogden but I'm just figuring it out as I go.

Welcome back! Not surprised to see you pull out at Cedar Hill. I did that the first year and honestly it was one of the sketchiest races I've ever done. Although it was the 3/4 that freaked me out, not the 1/2/3. Pretty nice results overall, if this is you not being in shape...

Busy couple of months:
3/21 - Tour of St. Louis Saturday AM Cat 3 TT - 1st/16 (full aero TT, I used my road bike, shoe covers, and an air attack helmet)
3/21 - Tour of St. Louis Saturday PM Cat 3 crit - 2nd/41
3/22 - Tour of St. Louis Sunday crit - 1st/46
3/22 - Tour of St. Louis Omnium - 1st
4/4 - Lincoln Park Cat 3 crit - 1st/52
4/4 - Lincoln Park P123 crit - 21st/67
4/11 - Blackhawk Farms Spring Super Crit - Cat 3 - 3rd/50
4/11 - Blackhawk Farms Spring Super Crit - P123 - 25th/50
4/18 - Menomonee Park Cat 2/3 crit - 2nd/11
4/18 - Menomonee Park P123 crit - 21st/28
4/25 - Whitnall Park Spring Classic Cat 3 crit - 2nd/8
4/25 - Whitnall Park Spring Classic P123 crit - 12th/24
5/1 - La Crosse Omnium - Cat 3 uphill TT - 1st/30
5/2 - La Crosse Omnium - Cat 3 crit - 3rd/47

I've recently upgraded to a 2. It was time. Being excessively marked in every single cat 3 race got frustrating. I'll be doing 1-2 more races before the Tour of America's Dairyland later in June. 11 races in 11 days... the best part of summer and living in Wisconsin.

Have you noticed a huge improvement in the ability of bikes to handle your power now? Old steel bikes felt like they were going to break. I think someone 228 could do stuff now, where in the memorable past, there was no way.

Speaking of which, while on the USAC site I noticed that 4 races I've done this year reported smaller field sizes than I thought (like, 44 instead of 52, for example), so I only have 13 upgrade points. That's kind of disappointing, and means I'm unlikely to upgrade this year.

Speaking of which, while on the USAC site I noticed that 4 races I've done this year reported smaller field sizes than I thought (like, 44 instead of 52, for example), so I only have 13 upgrade points. That's kind of disappointing, and means I'm unlikely to upgrade this year.

Can you explain that? Only Cat 1s can't upgrade.
I stated it was not an indicator outside of a closed group of racers that race the same races. So for masters and primarily the juniors it is not a reflection of ability at all. And, while I think it is a rule that should be done away with, we use it for call-ups as because we can by virtue of where we live.
