How fast do I need to be for amateur/intermediate road bicycle racing?

I am dreaming, breathing, living road cycling. I can consistently ride 70+ miles a day so I think I have a pretty good foundation being comfortable on the road. My question is, and I'm sure this is very broad, but what is a decent average mph for a standard somewhat flat terrain. I would just like to know what I can aim for for a somewhat recognizable position in a amateur/intermediate race. I also have experience riding in groups but would it be beneficial to register for a race for the strict purpose of learning to ride with other cyclists instead of trying to win? How did you get started?
