Do you know your ftp? Just ride to that.

It doesn't matter how you race, what matters is how nonchalantly you can sit on your top tube before the start.
Nail that and we might reveal further secrets to prepare you for next season.

I'll be doing it on a road bike and know i won't get a good time, but want to give it a crack and see how hard i can push myself.
At least you'll get a PB. And when the bug bites and you end up fitting a pair of aerobars, you'll probably PB again.
I know nothing about the world of TTs. Any insight and tips for a n00b?
IRT CTT Open Events like you have entered - Even though you have entered, it's not a guarantee you'll get a ride unfortunately. It comes down to many factors, for example; course popularity, time in the season, how many entrants that are faster than you, etc. As you don't currently have a LTS time (a 25PB time over the last 3 seasons) the event organiser will select entrants that do have a LTS over yourself. You'll probably get a ride as it's late in the season though :)

Anyone who knows me will laugh at this, but I've decided to try some TTs. I've just completed the 'A Race' of my season and want something a bit different to focus on for a bit.
So i've entered the Epsom CC 25 mile TT in late sept.

I know nothing about the world of TTs. Any insight and tips for a n00b? Am going to try some sessions on the turbo working out roughly what power i should be aiming for on the day. What kinda stuff would it be useful for me to know and do in advance?
ta!
