The Category descriptions and Race Start groups are based on the Categories and Start Groups shown in the 2019 NMRS Rules. 

In the Rules, Start Group #2 includes Master Men 45+ "A" (Cat 1/2)," and also includes Men Cat 3.

A Men Cat 3 (regardless of age) by joining Start Group #2 will be at the starting and racing with the Masters Men 45+ "A" (Cat 1/2). At that point it appears to be a question of who he wants to mix it with out on the course. 

But wait - It looks like the flier in fact does show "Masters Men 45+ "A" (Cat 1/2/3)," so it shouldn't be a concern.

I will check that the description on the registration site conforms to the flier.

Issue resolved: happy racing.

Does this help?

OK - so your flyer should read Masters A, 45+ Cat 1,2,3, Masters B 45+ Cat 3,4. Currently it only shows that Cat 1 or 2 can race Masters A. Thanks for clarifying.

John,

We are, of course, willing to accommodate any racer's interest and the event(s) that best suit the needs for the weekend. If you want to do the Master B Crit and the Master A RR you can register for the events the suit your racing goals.

As an early season race, we are more focused on providing a great event and supporting everyone's interests.

Please spread the word and pray for weather like this weekend (sunny and 70).

This is not of much personal interest since I won't be race fit until maybe August, but do you mean for Cat 3 masters to only race Masters B?  Last year Cat 3 Masters could race A or B.

Maybe it doesn't mean much since there is no Road Series this year, but I think the pool for Masters A racers is pretty small if stronger Cat 3s can't compete in it.

Just send a reminder that the Las Cruces and Hillsboro Trifecta weekend is only 9 days away (registration is only a week away).

Register early to save money.

Thank and Suerte,
