[quote]Toks, From what I've read, it seems that there will be 2 groups E/1/2s and 3/4/Js:
Yep you're right Matt! Ordinarily I'd stay away from the winter series as a 3rd or 4th cat. Who wants to be get a right going over in less than favourable weather in an E123 race?
However, if I was a fairly fit 3rd/4th cat I would definitely give it a go this time for two reasons. Firstly its gonna be a fairly mild winter this year (don't quote me
; and secondly, you're not racing against E12's. And furthermore its a great chance to get some points on board whilst some people are still finding their feet or more than likely stuck in 'base' mode...Its not gonna be as hard as the training group ride from a few weeks back so if you can survive that unscathed - you're ready!...And before anyone mentions it, to save you from 'winter star syndrone' you can always ease off in March and build up again to start racing at the end of April/or beginning of May.
