The Veterans Time Trials Association (VTTA) exists to promote racing against the clock for riders over 40.
Why Join?
Whilst most CTT events are run purely on actual time, as a VTTA member your race times can also be ‘age adjusted’ to level the playing field across all ages. The table below is a quick comparision of VTTA benefits with only riding as a CTT registered rider.

CTT riders |
In addition, for VTTA members |
|---|---|
|
Your race results are your actual times, regardless of your age. You’re racing against 20 year olds. |
Your race times can be ‘age adjusted’ to account for your age. If you go faster than your expected (or previous best expected) time you qualify for a ‘Standard’ award. Every year. |
|
Your actual times count towards the Traditional BBAR and Short Distance BBAR. |
Your age-adjusted times count towards our three season long competitions : VTTA BAR (50 and 100 miles and 12 hour), 3 Distance (25,50,100 miles) and Short Distance (2*10, 2*25 miles) |
|
You can enter VTTA events, but you can’t win a prize. |
You can enter VTTA events, AND win a prizes on age adjusted time. |
|
You’re racing against the best of the best if you want a National record. |
Qualify to set age records from 40 to 93, on road and track. |

Your age adjusted time (AAT) is used for a system of personal bests, known as Standards. Your Standard for each distance is increased each year in line with your age. If you beat it you qualify for a Standard Award.
If you ride a VTTA National Championship event, it’s your AAT which is used for the results.
The VTTA maintains the UK’s time trialling age records. To get a record you just need to beat the best actual time by anyone your age or older.
News and updates and news on all of the above, and much more, are circulated to members each quarter in The Veteran magazine.
