Do early season crits in the Nyc/CT area. Tons of races to choose from, and you're bound to hit some guys that aren't going to be 'peaking' for that.

If you play your cards right and peak for those series, you could get your upgrade. You would have to take a bunch of time off and ride easy so that you're not super burnt out when the 'real' racing starts.


Edit: Aki beat me to it. I was going to say CT, but expanded it to NYC as well. Seriously come out there.
