Not really new to riding but new to the forum. My name is Jane and I am from Michigan. Been using road biking for training for motorcycle racing over the years but never really got too hardcore into it, however repeated damage to my back from crashing has forced me to give up motorized 2 wheels. Just recently I have found myself becoming obsessed with road biking and trying to get faster and faster. Probably something to do with my competitive nature. I picked up a Felt F65 from a friend a few years back and just splurged on a Specialized Crux Expert Force (which I love) for cross training. Now that I am riding more I am realizing the Felt really doesn't fit me right and I am finding excuses to buy a Specialized Amira to take its place. Can't have just one bike, have to have two because you never know

I would like to get into racing but still trying to figure out if I can hang in the bike race scene as well as all the different types of races to do etc. Any suggestions or advice would be great.

Looking forward to learning a few things from you ladies about the bike scene and possibly meet a few of you if you are from the SE Michigan area.
