I was looking for a challenge for 2016. A couple of years ago I looked at the VTTA standards and thought they were unobtainable for me. However, time has moved on, I have got faster and the standards get easier each year. I can see the two curves coming together - perhaps in 2016. At the moment I am thinking of a 25 mile TT which sort of suits my cycling. I think I am about 2 mph off the required pace at the moment (might be a little more off but not much). I don't intend to buy a special bike, and I cant really justify a skin suit (is naked cycling allowed at VTTA events?). Do I have to enter a VTTA event to qualify for their standards?
Advice on how to train and how to invest no more than £100 in special gear would be really helpful. I have two road bikes: a Focus Cayo 2 and a Decathlon Triban 3 (which always goes fastest for some unknown reason).
Tips? ...or am I dreaming (again)...
PS I should add that I have never done a TT
