Ugrades!

Here are this week's laudable:

Chris "Cyclochris" Dinsmore of Tripower is now a Cat 4. Way to go, Cyclochris.

Alex Butterfield of NCVC has outsprinted me for the last time as a Cat 4. Congrats on your upgrade to Cat 3, Butters.

Evelyn Egizi scolded me for writing "catted up" in my last post on upgrades. She says the en vogue term is simply "upgrade." Guess that shows you the last time the category number on my license changed. Kind of like going into a diner and ordering "a Tab". Anyhow, she also told me that the women who are earning points in the MABRA Women's Series have their upgrade points tracked automatically, and that the following have either upgraded or applied:

Cat 4 to Cat 3:

• Lesley Golenor, HPC/List
• Jen Cheng, NCVC
• Susanna Matsen, Johns Hopkins
• Robin Zimmerly, Route 1 Velo / Capitol Hill Bikes
• Judy Wexler, Artemis

Cat 3 to Cat 2:

• Jen Rasmussen, HPC/List
• Heidi VonTeitenberg, ABRT/Latitude
• Jen Bodine, ABRT/Latitude
• Michele Hart, ABRT/Latitude
• Rachel Warner, CRC
• Lauren Shirock, BMW/Bianchi
• Lorena Candrian, HPC/List

Have you or a teammate or even a nemesis upgraded? Let me know.

Catting up is when two women become involved in a fist-fight over not pulling through.

Alright, that's my sexist joke for the week, see you all next time!
