what would be the best way for him to start doing TTs?
Ride some evening 10s as a start
What sort of times should he capable of doing over what sort of distances for him to not be utterly laughed out of town?
Nobody will laugh however slow you are. If you think you're going to take much more than 30 minutes for an evening 10 it would be sensible to ask for an early start
I asumme him riding a normal road bike as a total beginner would be OK?
Yes, a road bike is fine. You'll probably get sucked into trying to buy speed like we all do, but it's possible to resist.

So erm, well, erm
If there were an old chap, let's say an idiot 46 year old more suited to riding a long way than riding quickly, what would be the best way for him to start doing TTs? What sort of times should he capable of doing over what sort of distances for him to not be utterly laughed out of town? I asumme him riding a normal road bike as a total beginner would be OK? or not?
Asking for a friend obviously.
Thank you.
