My First first!

So...to add to my first place news, I just received approval of my upgrade to Cat 3! Yippee...of course, now I have to go back to racing against ohmyspokes!

Welcome to a whole new level of suffering I knew that racing as a 3 was going to be harder, but wasn't QUITE prepared for the big jump. Of course, here we have to race with the 1/2s...

Congrats on the upgrade!

Congrats on the upgrade. I'll be doing the same thing soon here, but I've heard good news. Next year even though we'll still be racing with the 1/2's they will be scoring every race separately! I think it will be great for the women's field out here. Its been a bit stagnant since it becomes difficult for 3's to get enough points to move up (a small group of 1-2's take most of the wins....) now maybe some day we'll truely have divided fields.

Thanks, all...it's nice to be able to share my good news here with y'all!

Kristy - I thought Rodale was a pretty nice course. You can't beat the road surface and the fantastic banked turns. If only there were more hills! Not too many....just one more! Sally has always had good races there, and it's definitely a course that plays to her talents. I heard that you're going to be riding with an NJ team? Good luck...I know that you will be a great asset to any team that you join!
