I've always loved cycling and I love watching big races like the tour de france and I was out riding my bike the other day and I was suddenly struck with the thought that I should try racing. I have no idea where to start, though. How do I train? Who do I talk to? How do I get involved? I'm 20 and female if that helps at all.
 
Check out the local bike clubs and join the one that suites you the best. They can help you will training and any other questions you may have. You want to get a good trainer so you can ride when the weather is bad. The most important thing is to get a good bike from the local bike shop that fits you.
 
Contact a bike racing club in your area. They will be glad to help you get started. If you don't know of any clubs in your area, the people at your local bike shop probably know how to contact them.
