What is 'vet standard time'?

Hmm, you're asking now,from memory I think it's an average time that
riders do once over the age of 40; starts at 1.06.30 for a 25 at the
age of 40 IIRC and increases by 30s every year of age or therabouts;
www.rttc.org.uk should have it all.

Or even the vtta as he

http://www.vtta.org.uk/standard.html

It seems a 50 year old should be aiming to beat 27mins 33 secs.

These figures dont look too convincing to me - the 10mile time for a
40yo is 25:30, with the 25mile time being 1h6m.
I know if I tried, i could do 1h6m for the 25, but the 10 mile time is
completely out of my league - I've never beaten 26:30.

believe me they are right, I have had -3 mins as a 40yo. Apprently to
win a middlemarkers trophy you need to go under 24 for a 10.
