Also, like Tak mentioned, if you're thinking of joining Cycles Veloce, do it now, there's only a couple of days left to get clothing orders in (kinda goes against getting a feel for the different clubs). Also, if you're curious about racing, Eldo starts up the first Tuesday in March, it's a very low key way to test the water.
Sadly, I must admit that this is a big reason I'm asking now.
