Rats, The Jefferson Cup registration opens at 9:00 PM tonight. Jeff Cup is a Road Race, just like in the TdF. I think it is several loops of a 10 mile course....
Anyone out there enter ? The CAT 5 race filled in 5 minutes. Is it the "Lance Returns" effect ? I'm in the 35+ ... From: Richard Gendron <rggendro@...> ...

Hi all, I'm really wanting to try a road bike race, but I haven't done anything like this since early high school, and even then I didn't really know what I...
On the fence about whether you are attending *LUNAFEST* tomorrow night (Wed, March 4)? Well then... let us sweeten the pot for you! Not only will you see...
The men's CAT 5 on this one will fill very fast. Great first race for someone who is comfortable with a short big ring climb and a screaming descent leading...
Hey RATS, Info on wakefield group rides. Tuesday is for Soul Crushing (local Cat 1,2,3s doing the crushing in the A group) butThursday is a tad more civil. ...

I am trying to talk my husband Rob into it. He smokes me on the trail (not sayin much), but has never competed on a bike. Melissa To: trirats@yahoogroups.com ...
Tysons was my first race last year. The cat 5 race is pretty reasonable. Unless you're husband is like Cascio (ftp of a 200 lber in a 125 lb body) the...
Melissa, Categories range from 5 to 1, lower is faster. For men, all new racers begin as cat 5. It takes 10 races to move to Cat 4. The idea is to separate...
I agree with Charles summary, but I want to add one point of view. Segregating CAT 5s is about not mixing inexperienced riders into situations they are not...
I have been thinking about getting one for a while now. I drink a lot of water when exercising and hate carrying a bottle when running and don't want to use a...
I have the 4 bottle version and it's been great. When I've done long runs, I do a 5 mile loop so that I can pop back in the house and refill them. Mine has a...
Just do it. You won't regret it. The four bottle version is plenty of water for a 10 mile run. I've used it as long as 20 miles. By far the best fuel...

And referencing the comment on placement, I find that I have to put some form of lube on my skin under the belt if I'm going longer than about 5 miles. Like...
