“Re: RE: Ride #53: 50 Miles with Graham Cracker and Ernie Papa Wheeli”

You hit it on the head Seth. The days of Ernesto's Pro MTB days are far behind him. Anyone starting to road race must log 10 Cat. 5 mass starts, before moving up to the more experienced catagories, regaurdless of talent, or super human cycling ability. Ernie's win however may help in an application to leave Cat 5. early.
