I'm 18 and want to start bike racing, where do I begin?

There are lots of criterium's, road races, time trials and hill climbs throughout the year.

join a club and go to BC to get a race license first. according to (my) club president, no racing till new year as its MTB/Cyclocross season

Most racing other than MTB/Cyclocross is over aye. Join a club, get BC membership (3rd party insurance and other benefits) plus a race license (or get silver or gold level membership and they come with a race license I think). 1st time joiners of BC should get a discount too.

Then it's all about getting the miles in over winter! Speed training will follow.
