enroper - start training and cleaning up your diet now, get a race license on 1/1/13, enter the first local race you can get to, get shelled, lather rinse repeat.
I agree with valygrl. The best preparation for racing is racing. In the meantime, avoid pie (or beer or cookies or french fries or whatever's your particular dietary downfall) and ride your bike. Do some intervals and hit the local race rides.
