Temple - League#12 (28th Aug 2012)

The last league TT of the 2012 season took place under sunny skies. The strength of wind varied depending on who you asked. At least last weeks discussion on the volume of extra oxygen in the air after rain was not revisited!

Eamon Hill was due to go out first but missed his start slot due to badly mistiming his warmup.Nevertheless the tanned one eventually got away, leaving from the back of the grid.

Judith Lowry once again dominated the ladies race. It's hard to see how the other ladies are going to respond to Lowry's times other than getting Miss Lowry moved into the mens category.

Vaughan Purnell finished off with a clean sweep in the last three league TTs (with 3 PBs) this time only just holding off a charging Peter Morrison by 9 secs.

Next week is the last TT of the year. The format will be twice up Drumbo Hill, going off 30 mins. Please arrive at the Drum Bridge car park for sign on at 18:30 latest.

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.
