Temple Garage 2UP (9th June 2009)

Conditions were again perfect for the second 2Up of the season on the Temple-Saintfield-Temple route. Considering the sun was shining and not a breath of wind to be found, it was surprising that only 14 turned up. I put the low turn out down to the fear factor of being drawn with Edna.

Desi, who was acting as timekeeper, drew the names and Damian’s face was a picture as he was once again drawn with Edna. He is still convinced that the draw was rigged.

First place was no surprise as Edna and Damian posted a blistering time of 27.20. Well done also to Peter McGuicken, Bill Rafferty and Ricky Cowan and myself, who finished second and third respectively

Next race on the 16th June is the Carryduff, Ballygowan, Carryduff route.

TT Training 2019

2019 Rules

You must have a TI licence (a training licence is sufficient), be a member of a triathlon club and have working front AND rear lights on your bike. Cycling helmets are also mandatory. For events marked (ATH) - this means it is an athletes TT, meaning that no TT equipment should be used, such as TT bikes, TT bars, aero helmets etc. You can of course turn up with TT equipment, however, you should be prepared for general teasing and mickey taking as the penalty for doing so!

As we are riding on public roads, the rules of the roads apply. The committee have notified the PSNI of our plans for the season; being seen and riding safely are of paramount importance - these events are very enjoyable and will improve your time trialling, but we should all stay safe when participating in them and we all have a responsibility to ensure that this happens.
