Amatur stage races

What is out there and what Cat will I need to be to enter? I will be 19 for next season, so not a yoof

I like the idea of spending a weekend racing, or even 3 days + ... so what low level multi stage races are there?

Road of course

The Surrey League stage a couple of road stage races for 3rd cats - a 3 day at Easter and a 5 day in late June. Both in the Surrey/Hampshire/Sussex area.
If you are willing to travel further there are a couple in Wales that I can think of:
L'etape de la Defonce - 2 day (3 stages) in May, near Cardiff
Ras de Cymru - 5 days (6 stages) - end June

Wowee, happen to have the name of this race by any chance? Looks like just the ticket

2010 calendar is not out yet so can't guarantee what races will run but you can see what was on in 2009 here:

Look for "Sigma Sport Easter 3 Day for 3rds" and "Pearson Cycles Jaunts 5 Day"

"Revolutions" is the Elite/1st cat 5 day race, "Jaunts" is for 2/3s.

19? Makes you a senior and therefore eligible for anything in your category.
