Is there a general average mileage for a Cat 5, 4, etc., race? I mean, is it uncommon to find a Cat 5 race of 30 miles? 40?
What average speed should I anticipate for an "average" race? Maybe that's impossible to state if terrain varies wildly from one course to the next, but as a Cat 5 racer next year, what could/should I generally expect?
I'm sure I'll get some clarification to these questions in a few weeks when I can join some teem-meet rides, but I'm still curious right here and now. Thanks.
