Are these guys Cat. 1. or higher?

I think they actually had Pro licenses the year this was produced.

Ouch. It hurts to know that what we once thought was the coolest shit ever is now considered 'retro'

Thanks for reminding me that i'm old.

I agree with what you say. I'm 33 and just learning that. I'm also 330 lbs. I ride my 1,500$ Gary Fisher Mountain bike to work which is 14 miles away and it's up hill: it takes me about 1 hour 35 minutes. I can feel my wight loss. My goal is to loose 100 lbs then buy my self a Trek road bike.

@partylwc i think that is right. I Hope to move up to cat 2 within a year of riding in hopes of catching an eye

[trackmatt123]

@chucholetsm8one You buy your bike yet?

[yazzazy0]

this is the most accurate presentation of amateur cycling i have ever seen.

we've all been there. the days you had cram four bikes and four people into a compact car to drive to a cat 5 race, two hours away, only eating bagels and bananas.
