I've been training for over a year now, and I think I'm ready to start entering into some races. I've never done a real race (I've been in a dozen centuries, and about the same number of metric centuries), so I don't really know how to find one/enter one. I am 17 (I'll turn 18 on January 27th) and live in Sonoma, California (North Bay Area), and I would like to race road bikes. I'm not on a team (obviously) and I don't know how to get on one. So, if anyone could help me out here that has experience with this kind of thing could you please let me know? My e-mail adress is Chitiah@msn.com and that is the same for my msn messenger. Thanks for your time.

Barca -

I recommend you contact Team Swift (http://www.teamswift.org/). They are in your neck of the woods. You can say "Hi!" to Reno and the LaFleur sisters for me.
