The TLI organise open age Road Races in the UK, and are an ideal way to get started on the road racing scene.
The League of Veteran Racing Cuclists is run in the same way as the TLI but for over 40s i.e. Veterans.
Race details can be downloaded from their website.
Women's racing is firmly on the agenda with one of British Cycling's aims being to encourage more women to race, whatever the level. All race organisers are being encouraged to hold women's only races. Within the club there are women competing in time trials, circuit/road racing and cyclo-cross. There are several facebook pages (FB link here) which promote races open to women. Several women ride out with the club chain-gang ride on a Saturday morning and this is a good chance to have a chat with the other women racers.
Time-trialling is a good place to start competing as you are racing alone against the clock, so no need to worry about other competitors . All abilities take part. For club TTs just turn up on the night, for open TTs you will need to enter in advance.
Women's circuit and road racing is increasing in popularity however women-only races are still not that common. For what is going on the best place to look is on the British Cycling calendar and filter for women’s races as well as the FaceBook groups above. Some women's circuit races are held alongside the men's 4th cat race. This isn't as intimidating as it may sound, however it is probably advisable that you first feel confident on the club chaingang or B1 group ride.
There are more women now racing cyclo-cross (winter and summer) and these are again a good place to start racing. At the lower levels women race alongside the men's vets and juniors, however there is always a vast range of abilities taking part so you can enjoy a race against other riders of your standard whatever your ability.

Cyclo-Cross is a great introduction to competitive cycling, and great if you like getting muddy.
The laps are short, and Senior races usually last an hour. It's also a great sport to get children involved in cycling, as there are separate shorter races for under 12s and under 16s.
Cyclo-Cross is great winter conditioning, and great for bike handling. You may have to dismount/re-mount a few times per lap. A Cyclo-Cross bike is not essential to take part, it is possible to enter with a mountain bike.
