Why riders like you need to go aero, and wheel weight doesn't matter ? and how the wind tunnel proves it | road.cc
Sell your house in Florida.
Buy a house in Fort Collins (which is quite flat, but at 5000 feet).

You should be able to pay for your daughter's college, buy the bike... and get better AERO.

There is a reason why Mexico City (even higher elevation) is popular for Hour Record trials.
