I really appreciate the advice!!
A friend raced crits and flat-ish road races as a cat3 for several years. He was usually 265 pounds or higher. He played college football and was extremely muscular. He didn't win any cat 3 races but he enjoyed the racing. He was a beast of a rider on club rides, as long as there wasn't a ton of climbing.
Another ex college lineman I rode with became quite good at track racing locally.
