    jimmy asked...but here's the breakdown

    category's are the levels at which you race...you start out at cat 5, then it goes down to one...kinda like this
    cat 5
    cat 4
    cat 3
    cat 2
    cat 1
    domes. pro (healthnet, toyota united, jelly belly, jittery joes)
    international pro (discovery channel, csc, phonak, gerolsteiner)

    i'm a 5 right now, and to become a four you have to do well before 10 races to move up early, or just do 10 to move up period...i've done 8, and my resume is:
    1 dnf(did not finish)
    11th place
    dnf(crash)
    dnf(crash)
    dnf
    8th
    26th
    1st
    ...based on my performance, it's obvious if i'm i'm a cat 5 race i usually do well if i don't crash...the fourth dnf was due to bruised ribs from the crashes...i'm not a great racer by any means, but have done well in cat 5's..the fours are next for me in the gainesville, ga grand prix, where i will do horrible probably, but will give it my all...athens is at the end of april, which is a huge huge race for the southeast...all the big guns in every category show up for that..big event for the community as well!

    and btw....when you get to cat 2 it is possible to race for a living (make around 20-30k a year)....most guys at 2,1,domes. pro have simple part time jobs though to make extra money...if i get to 30k, i'll make do and just train...i want to be international with a passion...

    one of my best friends is moving up to cat 4 too.. he said the exact same thing.. its a jump.. but its ok.. i will be in athens watching it, i was going to to teh inline skate, but i dont thing its happening this year, so.. im jsut gonna watch..

    also, im in the process of building shoes(since i build skates now), i want to get in the bike shoe market.. so, when i get some built.. ill let you try out a pair, get your take on them..

    also, i know a 18 year old that turned cat 1 last year in may.. and he cycles for 5 hrs a day.. so its almost a full time job.. adn you can get payed almost a full time job salary

    Congrats on the Win man...all that stuff you are saying is like speaking russian to me lol. I guess its like any other hobby you understand and know more about your own hobby than anyone elses. Sounds pretty good to make money doing something you love.
