Would a sub vet fall into the elite cat for these races? Who falls into the "open" category?

Their is only prize money for Cat 1! So if you out to race well then Cat 1 is the place to be.

 

I, personally as a proper Vet i.e. 40 plus ride the 60 min Vets race / Cat 2, then 15min later, I race the 90min Cat 1 race! last week managed to get a 2nd in Vets / Cat 2 and a 6th in Cat 1 which means prize money as they pay down to 10th place. This week could only still achieve a 2nd vets / Cat 2, was not as fortunately in the bunch sprint in Cat 1 only got 11th or 12th - today I am totally buggered - excellent racing and one way to improve the fitness levels quickly!

I would just like to ride for ****s and giggles and to get in some sort of shape. Cat 2 would be the place for me then. If I don't do the mtb race coming sat I might join in here or the night event on 24th seems like fun

I assume your referring to the PPA league - I still choose to ride elite for the past few seasons!
