Temple 2LAP (12th Aug 2014)

At 1700 hours things were not looking good for the Temple 2 lap TT. However, a few prayers to the gods and the rain cleared, leaving a cool evening and calm conditions. Five hardy souls took to the start-line.
Meanwhile time-keepers Ali and Glen drank copious amounts of coffee and munched on tray brakes - triathletes in training!
First home was Paul Carroll in an excellent time of 52.53, followed by the ever improving Matt McKirbbin. Emma, dedicated as ever, flew the flag for the girls.
At the off Glen was admiring Emma's rear view as she disappeared into the distance! He can thoroughly recommend the light she uses - the Lezyne Micro Drive Rear LED. This had excellent visibility from at least 500m back. It costs £25, is charged with an integral USB charging stick (no cables) and gets rave reviews on Wiggle.

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.
