Interested in learning about road racing

[Eden]

(I think the west coast has Cat 5?)

We wish..... nope we still don't have the numbers or the support to merit a cat 5 field. Our races here in WA usually have two women's fields cat 4, and the cat 1,2,3's together. In Oregon its usually a 3/4 field and a 1/2 field.

Please do search this fourm. I and several others have written pretty extensively on begginner racers and how to get started.

I know there are some more - just search around using the advance search and you may come up with some more interesting stuff.

Feel free to ask specific questions too!
