That's more riding than I do and I didn't finish last last time. You'll be fine.
Well I am sure they will change it, as the entry allowed me to do it. good to hear that overall positions are not based on age category.
I am afraid for the day that an event forces me to be a veteran or masters and miss out on the good prizes if I am still capable of racing in elite or open.

The extra weight in derailleurs and 10 speed clusters should balance things out though
Its a shame you missed out and that they only have it every 2 yrs now but its alot of work organising a race like Wildside. Bloody nice bunch of people.
Done it four times and the first year was probably the best as everyone was in the same boat.

Jess, just emailed the Wildside organisers as Josie did the same as you (ie. entered into "Open"). They are changing Josie's category to "Veteran".
I am guessing you will need to do the same (I had thought to ask them to change your category also, but thought it better if that request came from you
)Not sure what age category "Open" refers to (as there was no age category defined for it), but it seems if you are in your 30s, they slot you into vets....

We are riding the bike alot if that counts as training
No more racing for us until Wildside (dirt crits being the exception), btu have decided we need to take our road rides more seriously. Chucking in a few road hills sessions in addition to our "usual" rides.

Riding the 500mts down to Total Rush, from your place, for breakfast while spending more money doesn't count as a training ride Court!We are riding the bike alot if that counts as training
