Age-Related Standard Times

Standard Times are the difference between the Standards (target times based on age and gender) and the Actual times. Thus: a positive value indicates a rider is faster than his or her Standard Time.


A spreadsheet is available for DOWNLOAD which enables easy calculation of Standards for various distances. Simply enter the distance in the field at the top of the sheet labelled AgeStandards.


The Standards are based on performances on flat courses.

Used with permission, the values are primarily derived from tables devised by the VTTA in the UK in 2012 when a major revision of pre-existing tables was adopted based on quite considerable contemporary data.

—this site now uses the   2024 VTTA standards values in the age range 40-98 years.
Based on assumptions from our own data, we have included  Masters riders aged 30-40 years but have abandoned our own previous attempts to cater for an even wider range of riders and machines.
