Hello PB, I am looking to get involved in road racing, and wanting to know if anyone knows of any races or organizations in the Bay Area? I have tried looking on USA Cycling, local clubs, etc, but cannot seem to find any information on consistent races in the area. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

USA Cycling is the top-level governing body.
Nor-Cal Nevada is the local association.

Most folks find their way into road racing via a club of which there are several.
Just google "bike racing clubs, bay area" to find clubs or go here: https://ncnca.org/clubs/
Find a club that matches your vibe..many will likely have evening training crit's or midweek after-work group rides.

I suggest finding some events to go spectate and chat with folks.
Hellyer Park Velodrome in San Jose is also a great resource if you're wanting to ride track:https://hellyervelodrome.com

Have Fun!

Hey, I’ve been curious about the same thing! The Bay Area has a ton of cycling, but the info is kinda scattered. Have you checked with any of the local shops or meetup groups? Sometimes they know about smaller weekly races that don’t show up online.
