one suggestion for a club is crca. it's a huge club, which may not be to everyone's tastes, but they have clinics and club races.

tell me you're not ready, then fine, but don't use your equipment as the reason.
i know a NYC racer who won the empire state games qualifier on a borrowed bike.
he borrowed the bike 1/2 hour before the race because his was stolen when he was in a bathroom, and left his bike outside.
