• Fit aero bars. You'll knock 30-60 seconds off your time almost immediately.

    That's as may be but I have two aims in this season, and possibly the next.

    The first is to see just how fast I can go without playing the kit game and the other is to beat my gf's dad's time of 24.20, which he accomplished on a steel racing bike in the days before aero bars were invented. It'll be tough because he has always been very skinny whereas I'm a fat bastard.
