Sadly we have a sportmans division and sandbagging from what I have been told if normal.

I don't understanding sand bagging, I would rather not get a trophy or medal and know I was in the right division. I would rather ride with faster better riders as motivation to do better and become better. But I'm weird, must be all the National competitions I have done in another sport......

I watched a local rider I have ridden with join the Open C. I know he is better than that, but to each their own. What ever makes you feel better.
