Ceratinly I do not know. I do know that I cannot imagine living without goals. I cannot imagine not being able to admit my goals, for whatever reason. I say that you would not go through the pain of pedaling up a hill if you did not have a goal.
What type of standards are you looking for, BA? Most clubs have speed/distance/time standards for riders to use in order to select rides based on their abilities. I'm not sure what standards are used to determine the categories used in racing. Is this the type of info you were looking for?
