I live in Westminster/Huntington Beach, CA and my area for bikes is totally dry. I'm 14 years old but i want to join a junior road team and try my hand at racing. I check my local bike stores and things and no store has a team or anything. Where should I look? Also best bike for 800-900 that is new? I already ride but my bike isnt cutting it.

nvm....

Hi - if you are getting into bikes, you would get your best bang for buck with something like a BikesDirect bike IMO.

If the LBS doesn't support local racing, buying from them would allow you to get more acquainted with how a bike goes together, and give you confidence for when you need to service and clean it. Of course if you don't have a mechanical bone in your body or anyone you're confident could assist you, this is not an option for you.

YMMV, HTH

check the local forums... i think you could race at ELDO or the new one that's in tustin...

Sho-Air.
