Citizen Races

I have always wanted to try my hand at racing just once. I noticed that at the various USCF
cycling events around here, there will often be a "Citizen's" category/race.

What exactly does that entail? Does that mean that I race along with the little kids with BMX
bikes (more power to em for entering!) or is is more competive than that?

Your comments are appreciated.

I'm sure that it varies with the area and the race, but around here there are some real hard-cord
riders in the citizen's events. The guy across the street from me rides in them, and he's on a
Kestrel with aero bars, etc. There is also a group of guys who ride fancy road bikes in a paceline
wearing Cox Cable logo'd jerseys. At the Monday- night time trials, nobody in it is a classified
racer, but some of them are still running disk wheels, aero frames and helmets, and averaging 29 mph
for a 15k TT.
