These races use category enforcement, so you can only sign up to a category that matches your power numbers, or a higher category if you choose.
For these races, all riders are leaving the start pens together. That means you will start off riding with riders from all categories. Be sure to pace yourself and don’t blow up early trying to hang with stronger riders!
