Carryduff Handicap - 7th May 2011

A loud peal of thunder got the Handicap TT underway. As the riders sped off towards blue skies over Ballygowan the unlucky timekeepers got an epic soaking.

For this handicap event Desi had carefully worked time penalties for each rider which were subtracted at the end. A low time penalty can be interpreted as an insult and a high time penalty as a certain form of praise from the ex-World Champ.

A delighted Aisling scooped her first victory of the year, narrowly beating Caroline.

In the boys results, Marty Lennon who this year has been more elusive than that snow leopard David Attenborough was searching for, rolled over the line in the first place.

Two riders were lost in action; Patrick and Mike Lyons. For Mike this makes punctures two weeks in a row. Luckily for him there are great value innner tubes available for the low cost of £3 each.

The Midsummer TT BBQ name list was started so anyone going needs to get on this list asap.

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.
