If we had cat 4's I know there would be tons more women coming out to race. If there is one thing that Colorado does not lack it's women cyclists. My feeling is that alot of them are too intimidated and/or unwilling to continually blow $35 for a race only to get trampled by cat 2 and 3 riders. So instead, each race sees the same core group of women competing against each other.
I can only imagine the uproar that would result here if for some strange reason the men's cat3 and cat4 group results were combined in a race. All hell would break loose, with cat 4's postively freaking out about the unfairness of it all.
I know there is little point to my mini rant. I guess I am just wordering how a system like this can do anything to grow women's participation in regional races.
