Carryduff - League#2 (15th April 2014)

Dry and bright conditions were on offer for the second league race on the Carryduff circuit. Unlike last weeks course there was no sissy coffee break at halfway.

Neville O'Neil performed an intense warm up on the turbo trainer oblivious to the smell of burning rubber from his rear wheel. It was perhaps no surprise when just outside Ballygowan the Olympian's journey ended with a puncture.

Also of note was the pre-race banter between Team Velo Cafe-magasin and Team Kaners. The main conversation seemed to be about how pretty their cycling shorts and jersey's were rather than anything worth reporting on!

Next week we join the QUB brick sessions at the harbour estate. Details will be posted here before next Tuesday.

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.
