Category Upgrade

I have upgraded from a category 5 racer with USA Cycling, to a category 3. The upgrade was needed for a few reasons. First, it's just a bit too dangerous riding in the lower category as the bike handling skills of the group are not that great and I don't want to crash for no good reason. Secondly, my family was embarrassed that I was racing as a cat 5 considering my previous experience and exploits. And thirdly, I needed the motivation for getting faster. Hopefully this upgrade will be a good thing and not have me dying to hang on with my tongue on the top tube.
