Carryduff TT on 3rd July 2012

The Carryduff TT was cancelled last night due to extremely poor visibility and slippy roads. Carryduff and Saintfield were in a complete white out. There was a group of around 8 people who went for a short ride themselves, most elected to just go back home.

Change of calendar

Due to the midweek Dalriada Glenarm triathlon (Wed 18th) we are going to move the Drumbo event scheduled for 17th July to the end of the calendar. Hence the new date for the Drumbo Hill climb is 4th September. There will be no TT on the 17th July.

If you have not already entered this event you can still do so. See here for details: http://www.invictustriathlon.com/glenarm-sprint-triathlon/

It will definitely be the event to do this year and every one will be talking about it (hopefully for the right reasons).

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.
