I've got some clip on aero Bars from my triathlon last year. I rate a 30min 10 mile TT is a easy target for me to do. Will look out for these Club TT's and see how I fair.

This thread has also sparked my interest. After a quick Google search I have found my local 10m route so will give it a go at some point.

Well I certainly enjoy it. 2 years ago had never seen a TT bike never mine ridden in a TT. Now all my riding is geared to best performance on the TT bike.

Annoyingly my bike has been setup for comfort (ie more upright) so I would probably need to sort that if I like it.

'Comfort' doesn't have to mean 'upright'.

As expensive as you choose, plenty good second hand knocking around.

Well, it doesn't have to be. I've been riding TT's for three or four years and until this year the only thing I bought was a pair of aero bars - which you've already got.
I ride my normal road bike, normal clothes and helmet. I got a light hearted telling off last year for leaving my water bottle in the cage - "you'll knock loads off, leave it at the start".
The one thing that's stopped me spending is that as I'm only chasing my own times it feels like I'm cheating if I get a better time because of the gear. At the moment I know that the improvements in my times have come from losing weight and working harder.
BUT........there are worse things you could spend your money on!
It is addictive, I must admit that when I'm riding I think "what the hell am I doing this to myself for!" but as soon as I've finished I'm looking forward to the following week. I've never looked forward to Wednesday nights so much - bring on the new season
