Yea, I know what you mean. Perhaps there should just
be a Mast. 35-39 cat 1/2. Then all the "old" guys who
don't have the time to train like a cat 1/2 (but who
ARE cat 1/2's) can race slow and commiserate their
horrible fate together, thus leaving we 40+ cat 3/4
racers to ourselves.

Man, hearing to sad story of racers getting older just
makes me want to cry. It must be hard to get used to
winning all the time and then being upgraded beyond
the level of your ability. Makes me glad to just
struggle as a cat 4.
