Temple - League#9 (10th July 2012)

It was not a glorious summer evening by any stretch of the imagination but it was at least dry.

Before the start Messrs Morrison and Millar (Mark, not Mike) were to be seen forming a mutual appreciation society based primarily around the aerodynamic-ness of their recently purchased TT bikes. Perhaps their mutual belly rubbing would not have been as amenable had they known a mere second would separate them in the results.

At the end it seemed like one lap was not enough for most. People disappeared off in all directions, putting in some extra running or cycling a few more miles. Whatever happened to a quick shot of deodorant and straight to the pub for a pint?

Note: there is no TT next week because of the Dalraida Glenarm Triathlon on the Wed night. The planned Drumbo Hill Climb has been moved to a later date. If you have not entered the sprint triathlon you still have a few days left to do so. If you would like to help out please get in touch and volunteer for marshalling.

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.
