New System in place......

Check it out.
USA cycling has changed the category system in mountain biking to line up similar to road.

Pro
Cat 1
Cat 2
Cat 3

Beginner and sport look to be not really affected (Cat 3 and Cat 2)
But it makes the jump from Sport to Expert interesting as Cat 1 will now blend the old expert and semi pro class together.

Still a bit unclear on how the age groups will be set up.......looks like event organizers have flexibility in that?
