  • whats wrong with the audio? this was the only good quality version of this song on youtube.

  • Why isn't there cat 6,7,8,9 or 10?

    I could probably do cat 8 or 9...

  • Whats the point of a cat 3 race? Whats the point of categories? Why doesnt everyone just line up and the fastest one wins? Why wear dorky helmets? Why not pump your tubulars up to 220 psi? Why close the road? Why sweep the corners? Why have barriers?

  • You are clueless dudde. 220? Are you thinking of volts? More like 110-120. I did this race 4 times with the cat 3s. 8th in 2003. This race averages 25.8 miles for 40 min. The cat 1-2 average 27.4. The cat 4-5 24.2. There is a huge difference of ability. 1-2 miles per hour is between staying in & dropping out. Try it & you'll see.

  • Well I meant it as a joke :) There's tubulars that go that high :).

    I just upgraded to a cat. 2 this yr so I'm experiencing your pain. Staying in the top 10 is more important than anything. If you cant stay in the top 30 your yo-yoing out of control and really not racing your bike just hanging on. So far it hasnt been that bad for me.

  • This guy's got it down.

  • why watch the video.. if thats how you feel.

  • go whole foods

  • It's not a cat 3 championship. Rather it's just a warm-up to the cat 1 and pro champs.

  • First prize for a Cat 3 at any "Championship" event (yes, Districts too) should be an upgrade to Cat 2. Nothing more. Discourages sandbagging.

    Back in the day, the only category at a championship event was "Senior Men" or "Senior Women". Cat 3's could choose to ride if they thought they had the fitness.

  • Well even today nobody really gives a poop about who won the cat 3 championship ....... If you're "in the know" you know who is the real champion, but I see your point. I also have to laugh at the new cyclocross category that has sprung up Masters B. They should call it seniors, not masters.

  • If you can win a cat 3 you can place top 10 in the 1-2s while you can drop most masters.

  • You must be one of those dropped masters.

  • That finish is hard as hell.

  • Those are some pretty serious Cat 3 racers.

  • downers grove is the national criterium championships

    i dont live to far from downers grove

    might race in the junior race this year

  • great vid!
