Novice or "Track n00bie" is fun but is like a game of billiards: balls bouncing every which way! You'll love racing even more once you get into intermediate etc because the other riders are far more predictable and safer despite the faster pace! You can make a move and be reasonably confident they're not likely to make a dumb move or freak out if you pass close & fast or even bump a bit.

Just a thought: if you have cash burning a hole in your race leathers: I'm always willing to be sponsored!
