Regardless of what you call them that’s too few classes. What about Cat 4 or 5? True beginner racers are going to be thrown in with folks that have been racing both ‘beginner’ and ’sport’ and will be discouraged from coming back out. They’ll be blown away by the ’sport’ class Cat 3s and will drop racing all together.

Doesn’t sound like a good way to grow the sport to me.

I think it should be classified purely by helmet color.

70’s Music: Are those in the Aerosmith (aka Toxic Twins) category automatically disqualified for doping? +1 on the Zepplin votes, though I’d probably fit in better with Sabbath.

As a roadie (I’ll try not to sound condescending, but it will be hard), I have to say that the number system doesn’t work so badly…you just need more of them.

We start at 5, and theoretically work our way up to 1. Some of us do not actually do this. We may not live in the prettiest neighborhood, but it’s home, you know?

But the point is that telling non-cyclists you race Category 5 tends to leave the impression that you’ve already graduated FOUR TIMES!

We Cat 5ers do not do so well at dispelling these impressions. Maybe because we don’t try to. Or maybe because our heads are nodding violently up and down when we’re asked if this is how it works.

Bob Styx vs Supertramp? Now I’m offended.

Stock, Aitken and Waterman being the non desirable section obviously ;)

Bob et all. I am horrified that there is no mention of the punk revolution in there either!

I feel that the 70’s were perhaps a bit too diverse for such a small number of categories.

How about 80’s

Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

Everybody else.

and Black Sabbath!

oh, oh, and Jimi Hendrix

and… well really a bunch of bands that are not Van Halen or Aerosmith (who are plenty fine, just not worthy of a race category).

I think Maddy’s “blog-related” categories are best!
