You'll probably want a flat Crit circuit or alternatively a flat time trial. Most road races will have hills in of some sort.
Before doing that though, you probably need to join a local club that races. You'll get used to riding in a bunch (less important if you want to TT) and be able to judge your fitness against other riders who are racing at the moment. A local club will also be able to recommend races appropriate for you too.

Im 16 and i would like to get into bike racing after my exams- end on june 23rd
I have looked for races but many are on hilly courses where a normal road bike would be needed
does anyone know of any relatively flat race courses in which i would be able to compete in using my single speed bike. fyi velodrome racing doesn't really appeal to me
any comments would be appreciated
Thanks
