Road Racing Information Needed
Hi All,
I want to start racing this spring/summer but I don't know alot about how racing works. Would appreciate any information as to the process. I'm 34 years old and want to try different types of road races to see what i enjoy the most.
Some questions:
1. Is there a central oranization that governs amateur racing? would this be usa cycling organization? saw their website.
2. do i need a license to race?
3. What is the process to enter races?
4. do i need to be on a team to do a road race?
I've been training pretty hard all last year including the winter and feel like i'm ready to give it a try. just don't know how!!
Thanks!

check out the racing sub forum for lots of info.
Your questions:
1) yes,
2)yes, (you can buy a one day, or one for a year)
3)sign up fill out the release, pay the money. You can do it at the race, or before online for most races.
4) no, but it helps.
