Racing category question

I'm 50 and I'm doing quite well in a regional, non-uscf time trial series.
Thought I'd try my hand at a sanctioned USCF race. Technically, I'm a Cat.
5. Am I allowed to race Masters 50+ (which is an available category for the
race I'm doing). Again, this is a time trial and not a road race.

Been to the USACycling.org website. Can't find the answer there.

Thanks for any help.

Yes. TT's are generally open to all categories.

Check with the promoter!
Most Master's races are for 1-4

If it says Masters 50+ it means all categories as long
as you have a license. In general, if you show up, you can race
in just about any UCSF race with an cat4-5 class no matter
what your age. You might get lumped in a mixed bag
class but you can race. When in doubt call the race promoter.
I can't imagine it being any problem with a TT.

Before that, check the official race announcement.

That all depends where you are; many simply specify "Masters 35+", and
that lets anyone in. "USCF Masters 35+" lets in all categories except
citizens.
