Temple - League#6 (21st May 2013)

A Day that seemed to suggest there will be a sunny Temple TT but alas a false dawn. It turned out to be an overcast & chilly evening that welcomed 18 hardened 'Testers' ... Some even on their summer kit !!!!

The lady's were led home by Emma followed by Mrs Lowry Lonen only 9 secs behind, then came the 2 Aisling's...Fair play to Aisling T, she had been competing at the weekend winter Half IM in Collingstown.....

The Gents also had a very close finish for podium places. Mark Miller took the honours followed by Enda and Peter Morrison , only 12 secs separated them . Poor Enda has had no luck with Temple on the 2 occasions thus far. The chain put an end to his 1st and then tonite a Tractor passed him just as he started the TT, then indicated a turn and slowed up all the traffic behind it including poor Enda !!!! perhaps Time Keep next time at Temple :-)

A couple of the Boyz missed their time offs and had to be rescheduled , I thought this was rare but Desie informed it happens more often than you think !!!

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.
