    I'm telling you what I think, based on 15 years of road racing here and in Belgium, Holland and Spain. It might not be instantly achievable for you, but I'm not going to change my advice based on what you think is the best thing for you.

    How many miles are you planning on riding each week between now and your first race?
    How many times can you ride with others in a chain gang type situation?
    What local club run style rides can you do?

    The number one thing about training for cycle sport is specificity. You could take up cross, but you will only really get good at cross; yes, there are some cross-overs in terms of bike handling, but specificity is key.

    Driving an hour and a half?
    How much do you want to be good?
    How much work are you willing to do?

    These are the questions that only you can answer.
