What are the different categories for rides / riders (cat 1, cat 5,
etc...)? I thought I know what they were for certain rides, but I don't
know what they mean when they're applied to riders.
Also, I got my first pair of clipless shoes yesterday (Shimano SH-M038),
and they came with a plate to screw the cleats into. Should I use that
one, or the plate that came with my cleats?
Thanks,
Adam

Those sound like categories used in US amateur racing. Beginner racers start
at category 5. If your results are good enough, you move up to category 4,
etc.

The ones that came with the shoe may fit the shoe better. Try that one
first.
