Temple - league#12 (26th Aug 2014)

Last of the summer at Temple.  



The late comer, named and shamed, this week is Peter McGuckin. We even spelled his name correctly so there was no chance of mistaken identity. 

There seems to be a slew of bike injuries in the last week or two for some TT regulars. Gavin Browne had a very nasty spill during the Inishowen 100 resulting in many stitches and a broken vertebrae. Mark Millar broke a collar bone when a spectator stepped out during a 70.3 in Europe. Wishing them both a speedy recovery.

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.
