I'll be doing it if I'm not too tired from watching the prologue the night before 
Have you done the TTs there before? Good course and friendly atmosphere.

Don't worry about the aero gear - yes you will go a little bit slower without it, but you still get to come out and suffer just as hard Plenty of people do these TTs without any gear. Although there are normally a few discs and sperm helmets around the place.

I normally ride to the start which takes about 45 mins, then just have a bit of a roll up and down the road just before the start. Somewhere in there I try and do a hard effort or two just to get the blood flowing a bit.
I'm not very scientific about it....

Yeh the time trial sounds good, good fast course too with a 20m rise and fall in the road, I often do it in reverse when on Outer Harbour ride.
I would not use aero gear, a set of bars is more expensive than a year's gym membership. Will give it a go one day.
At least the road is free, must be a pain being a trackie and going to the Drome all the time,
cost, travelling time, finding somewhere to throw the banana skins etc.
