Carryduff - League#2 (16th April 2013)

Weather conditions were dry and breezy for the first TT of the year on the Carryduff - Ballygowan triangonal course.

Headlining the show tonight was Enda Marron. Marron was seen by many as the big star of yesteryear, regularly showboating his way around the TT courses. Last year however he struggled to find form but this season "Mr. Dolomite" clearly means business.

One first tonight was Neville O'Neil performing a warmup on the turbo trainer. Most people take a 400m spin for a warmup, if at all. The question is now how many people will bring their turbo next Tue evening?

Online entry will hopefully be active in the next day or two. The delay has been due to the Ulster Bank being completely incompetent. Details will be posted on this site.

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.
