Temple - League#3 (3rd May 2016)

A dry night for the first outing from Temple this season.

Five TTs down and some people made their first appearance. There was David Calvert on his personal "Elvis 1970 tour", Neville O'Neill the sole representative for Cafe Velo Magasin and Ali McConnell appearing very relaxed about the whole thing!

The two Conor's remain locked in battle with mere seconds of separation. McGandy is reportly spending the coming week practicing the clip-in, the leg shave and the early number shout from 10 metres out.

Hetherington this week, denied the aero neutralization of an athletes TT, found himself back again in middle field.

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.
