Dear Ed Firstly, if you turned 16 in March you are classed as an u16, NOT a junior this year. There is an U16 circuit race series taking place almost every weekend over the next few weeks, last week it was at Milton Keynes. Look under the road pages at "Road major events" and the youth circuit race series. Most of then will have 21day closing dates for entries. The u16 National Champs are at Hog Hill on 24th July, but the entry may already be full. Form what you say it doesn't sound like you have actually raced yet and you shouldn't under-estimate the technical challenge of a close moving fast bunch. You need to get experience. There are weekly u16 races at the Hillingdon circuit and also group riding sessions down at Palmer Park track on a Tuesday (8.15pm). On Thursday (8.15pm) it is a track (fixed wheel session) which is also good bunch experinec as is the Palmer Park Velo club on a Staurday morning (9am). If you can ride in a bunch on fixed wheel with no brakes then that transfer well to bunch racing. On both Thursday & Sat you can hire/borrow a fixed wheel bike. Do you have a race licence ??
