Citizens category? We don't have it around here I guess. There is a series held at a local (car) race track that is not USCF (USACycling) sponsored that has a beginner category as well as cat 4 so I guess its like that. No one is required to have a racing license to race there since its not sponsored and its a really great way to learn if you have something similar available. We haven't had enough women racing to have a women's cat 5, but our fields are getting bigger and bigger so we can hope!

Oh, by the way Sulis -if none of the above made much sense- when you race there are 4 categories for women. You start as a cat 4 (men have a 5) and you move up either through experience (25 races with 10 or more particpants to go from 4 to 3) or points. Points are earned by getting a top 6 finish. Around here we don't have enough women to separate any fields except for 4's. After you upgrade the 1,2,and 3's generally race together and are scored together.
