This Sunday is the first cross O-Cup of the season. I know it is also world’s and some people will be away. I’ve entered Cat B, anyone else going?

The goal is to catch you from the old guy category.

Devin will be there as well.

Not going. Taking a weekend off racing.

Will do Duntroon.

I’m considering it…but sadly Sagan just came down with a cold (almost certainly the one Lucas had last weekend) so he is out. And I might end up with it as well.

I don’t like what the OC did with the categories though. I was happy in the old cat C but they’ve now reduced to 3 categories and removed the separate masters categories. And I’m not racing at 9am 😴

Master Men/Open 35 and race to avoid being last? 🙂

@KevinGoertz the 35+ category will be Barry Cox and a bunch of other masters that don’t want to race early or get beat up in Cat B…which is what will happen to me.

I might switch to 35+ depending on where everyone lands, we’ll see.

Yeah, I picked the masters 35+ category. Had thought about Cat B, but I’d rather be in the 1 minute back start wave at 11:01.
