We assumed that you have already decided on which discipline to focus on.

Cycling is divided into experience+ability levels. Beginners race beginners, intermediate race other intermediate, super-fast race other super-fast racers. That way it keeps it fun for everyone.

You can still do "sprint" events in the beginner group. You don't have to wait till you become pro to do sprints, just like little Timmy doesn't have to go to the Dogers before he can ever Pitch

Find out if your track offers beginner races. That's where you belong. You don't need a UCI category. UCI is for international racing.
