Carryduff - league#11 (23rd Aug 2016)

Dull conditions for league numero eleven, which started from Carryduff at a little after 18:45.
A red alert signifying an exciting display of the aurora borealis over the Carryduff circuit sadly turned out to be a false alarm. The reason for the false red alert was local interference; a grass cutter of all things affected the manetograph at Lancaster University!

Good efforts all round for the now battle hardened riders.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” 
- Arthur Conan Doyle (1896)

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.
