Temple Garage - Race 7 (14th July 2009)

Ten riders came out for the holiday week TT which returned to Temple. The air temperature was perfect with a moderate headwind in places.

Vaughan's new socks didn't lose their magic in the wash and performed admirably again. Gerry "King of the Sportive" O'Neill put in a decent performance after many weeks absence. In the battle of the sibling's Colm seems to have shook off brother Kiernan for the time being. Putting in a late first appearance Dave Lonnen had a good run but faded in the hills over the last 2 miles. Peter is talking himself real close to getting a new bike; his bottom bracket has a lot of play and is locked solid preventing putting a new one in.

Thanks to Maeve and Judith for timekeeping so well.

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.
