Carryduff - League#5 (14th May 2013)

Two Legends tonight deserve a special mention for battling on in the face of adversity. Mark Millar and Neville O'Neill, bless their little cotton socks, are both back from recent adventures on the European continent. Millar completed a 70.3 in Majorca in a superb time of 4hrs 44mins and O'Neill clocked up 400 miles of cycling in Spain as part of the Invictus training camp.

' Mechanical misfortune (is there any other type) of the night goes to Ms Kerr. The invictus lady t had her chain come off which cost precious seconds. Ms Kerr reckoned after it was at least 20 seconds!

Welcome to new girl Judith Lonnen at her first TT. If Miss Lonnen bares any resemblance to a former TT girl Miss Lowry then it is only in passing. If nothing else the bike times show they are definitely different people.

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.
