Do most people new to bike racing join a team before starting racing or do they hook up with one after a few races? I plan to start racing this year (already signed up for a road race in June) but I really know nothing about the team aspect. I have been training solo and it would be helpful to join some fast group rides for that experience, but I don't really know how people with no racing experience get affiliated with a team. I could reach out to a couple of local LBS teams but looking for some advice.
