    As much as I love the Pro/Cat 1 Races, Cat 4/5 is a different level of entertainment to watch.

    Go watch a cat 4/5 cyclocross race, which should be for beginners and novices (less than 3 years racing cross) you'll find it full of masters racers with 5, 10+ years of racing cross but don't or won't race in the "open" masters because they're afraid of starting on the 8th row and getting lapped. They love to finish top 20, instead of the 58th they'd earn in their real category. These are good racers who lap the real beginners, they should be ashamed of themselves. This is usually not a problem, but at a race like Tree house CX or NOHO (new england) where the 4/5 race is the first to sellout (100 spots), how many true newbies don't get to race because some poser is afraid of the "big boy" race?

    Call me crazy, but I don't think teams should be allowed in the lowest category.

    What's the most common helmet used for crit racing?

    • @oftenwrongphong
      @oftenwrongphong 5 месяцев назад

      Racers love spending 100+ for helmets (some probably do make a difference, claiming speed advantage in tests). My first year racing, I went thru 3 helmets, so I'd advise selecting cheap n safe ones off of Amazon instead. Either that, or get an expensive one and one just for racing.

    Doubling up back-to-back in a crit is gluttony for punishment, but when it's like $10 for the second race, why not? I prefer to pin the second number on a fresh jersey so I'm marginally less crusty. Stash a bag in the pits with jersey #2, water, and a gel, and you're nice and warmed up for the second race. ruclips.net/video/wOUAl_7FQ7s/видео.htmlsi=oHtlGBx9bjkuL7pP&t=70
