The first TT is at the end of February, its totally flat, and only 8 miles so it should be a real barn burner.
I don't have an aero helmet or wheels

My partner has the helmet, which he shares with my eldest sons - but my head is too small

We also have only one disc and a couple of tri-spokes - again, my partner and sons are the contenders, so they use them.

My partner did order me some bar-end shifters and together with the bull bars we picked up second hand a couple of weeks ago this will make my bike truly TT specific - I will not be able to road race at all with it. It will mean I do not lose time shifting position to change gears (inevitable on two of the TT courses which have hills) - the only time I will need to get out of the aero position will be at the turn around.

Hopefully this will be set up by the 8th of February - the next ITT the club is having.

Looking forward to reading your race report - don't forget to describe how you feel the gear went - the physical difference but also if it made a diffence to the way you prepared and acted mentally.
