I rode unattached for a few crits while I found a better organized/more ethical group of guys and then hooked up with them. Do your research and find a good group. If you don' have much experience with crits and such, try and watch some...you'll see the smooth machines and the botcheries.
I did so many crits in the 80's and 90's I cannot even tell you a number and if I never do another crit for the rest fo my life-thats fine with me!! I like road racing and time trials and at 41 just getting back into racing, I am in no rush for the dangers of crit racing.

Thanks,
Ray
