Any Competitive Road Cyclists here?

posted over 2 years ago | Report

Just wondering if there's any guys who race blogging here on DM. Seems to be a lot more runners and triathletes.

Feel free to add me as a friend!

    lol....looks like I'm a rare breed here...
    I'll post anyways:
    I'm a Cat 3 road cyclist from Alberta, Canada. Started off doing cross country mountain bike racing and got into road last year. I train like a mad man. My favourite events are long road races. Ultimate goal is Cat 2 in the next year.

    Danny Kam I believe is cat 1/2. I'm sure there are a few others. I use to race in college, but have hung up my bike for a few years to pursue running. I'll be back soon.

    Former cat 3 here, but that was 10 yrs ago. I'd like to return to racing, but we'll see how it goes. Right now I'm rebuilding after a long stretch of being a beer drinking lazy ass.

    Racing since '86, still as a Cat.2 (limited status in US, you have to be a citizen for Cat.1) and Master 35+, was UCI RS1 elite in Canada before I moved.

    I'm not as competitive as I used to be, but I love to race with Tioga Velo Club.

    Hi, just joined up, unfit and just about to start training, so not competitive yet! Apart from racing shopping bikes! Having said that, competition is what I am aiming for, cat 4 to start with. Graham.

    I caught the racing bug last fall so this year I'll be a Cat 5 40+ racer in Oregon and California. Looking forward to it all!

    I was a Cat 3 roadie and Cat 4 trackie in the early 80s, then took a long rest. I started racing at the track again two years ago and love it. I suspect Cat 4 is as high as I'm going to get. My biggest goal this summer is to do a respectable 2K pursuit in the Masters 50+ section. I might do some road races. It's funny, I do better at longer events but love the track most of all.

    I started riding about 5 yrs ago, after I bought my first road bike. I was turned on to a local 10 mile time trail race by a friend. I was immediately hooked. I would like to get into road races more often, as have entered a few local races in the past. ( Also got my but kicked ) My goal was usually not to come in last.
