we are promoting category racing as opposed to age racing ie if you are a PPA seeded A 46 year old you should be riding against a similar standard of rider be they 20 years old or 60 years old (for eg Peter .......a 64 years old rides cat 1 in the winter series) conversely if you are a PPA seeded M 20 year old but would like to race the same applies. this categorising of riders will take a season or two to sort itself out but i am of the opinion that this is the way to go. the PPA seeded categories have proved this.

i am in the process of expanding on the categories for all the events in the winter series but sometimes work gets in the way.
