Hi all. I'm a beginner who wants to try his hand at some racing but hasnt a clue where to start or who to contact. Can anyone help me? Any hints and advice would be welcome. Thanks.

If you want to do some road racing, track racing etc then have a look here

If you fancy time trialling, which is probably the easiest way into competitive cycling then check CTT

You should get in touch with a cycling club local to you. They usually run midweek club events, where you can turn up, pay a couple of pounds, and ride.Expertly coached by http://www.vitessecyclecoaching.co.uk/

There's also the League International:

or if you are over 40, the League of Veteran Racing Cyclists:
www.lvrc.org
Best advise is to join a local club and find out from local riders - it's very difficult to acquire the riding skills and fitness to be a competent racer within joining a club.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0 -

Would definitely check out TLI races in your area - low cost way to have a try.0 -
