thanks!
There's really no bike-oriented track anywhere around boston. If you want to race on a semi-official track, you've got to head up to new hampshire. Several people on the forums head up there (pixel, transplant) but i think the racing is over for the year.
People ride on the mit track, tho there's nothing organized right now. As long as it stays pretty low key, and no runners get their tail twisted about it, bikes can slide by.
re: collegiate teams- the harvard training rides are open to non-harvard folk. They're friendly, gender balanced, and contain some seriously fast riders. Road bikes generally recomended, as most of their routes go over some hills, though many of the riders ride fixies for winter training, so they're familiar with them.

welcome to boston!
