I'm very dedicated to my training, and want to start racing next season after I get several months of miles and training in my legs. I only prefer to do road races as I prefer that type of riding.
I've checked our local race calendar, and there seem to be around 2 to 3 road races within my area per month. With this many races, I think there are plenty to cat up in some time.

I'm just curious to see if there are successful racers with focusing just on road races and foregoing crits.
