Check out USA Cycling Federation for info on licenses.

Anyone who wishes to race needs a license. I think they have day licenses if you wanted to give a race a go.

CATS go from 5 (being beginner) to 1 (pros). You change CATS by upgrading through points (ie how well you do in your races).

You sound interested, why NOT give it a go?

Don't ask why a Canadian girl knows this stuff, I'm just envious we don't have more races here!
