I am interested in racing but have no experience. I know how fast I am now and wonder if I could hold my own or how fast would I need to be to not get dropped? I would be a Category 4 racer. Does anyone know the average speed these ladies are doing for category 4 races? What are the professional women's (Cat 1-2) speeds? Thank you much!
