There has been thousands of Cat 1 riders over the years that just cannot make the jump.
Its the distance

What we could do is all do a 40mile ride say undulating and give our times roughly , add them all together and see what our forum peloton would be.
You could all PM me them if you dont want the times to be known
Mine would be 20mph on a not to steep a course with say not much wind.

Id be very surprised if we was more than a Cat 3 peloton.

If you have a garmin try and cycle at 25mph and see how far you get. God its serious after a few miles and it certainly doesnt become fun anymore does it.
25mph is not great guns in a huge pack on the flat Daz. You'd be suprised how much you can get away with by sitting in a pack.... ask Cavendish, he does it very well.
