could somone provide me with some information on where to find out about local races, cost of a race? is there any association i have to be part of (such as for rowing i had to be part of the Ameteur Rowing Association),
what other costs or anything that i need to know about such as kit?
and to let you know where i stand, i dont even own a road bike yet, but will be getting one soon and hopefully start doing some small races soon afterwards,
cheers

Bunch Racing / Road Racing
You need to have either:
a) full British Cycling racing licence & Silver membership - c.£65 for the year
b) or take out a "day license" for each race - £10/race
Have a look at the event calendar here:
http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/web/si ... future.asp
Typical race entry fee is £10-15
Time Trials
You just need to be a member of a club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials
Event calendar here:
http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/events.asp
Entry fee typically around £7. However, many clubs hold "club events" on summer evenings that will cost a couple of quid to enter, although the club may ask you to become a member if you do them regularly.
No special kit needed for either, apart from a helmet for bunch racing.0
