Temple - league#12 (30th Aug 2016)

Dull weather conditions and some crosswinds featured in the last outing from Temple in 2016.

It was good to see the return of Mark Millar who has been recovering after a serious bike crash.

Mrs Sharkey continues her second half of the season dominance in the girls league. It will be interesting to see how the league results fall out of the spreadsheet when the magic formula is invoked. Mr. Sharkey of course can be very supportive from the comfort of 60 seconds (for the minute that is, which just happens to be 60 seconds!).

Fashioneer of the night goes to Carl King for matching those lycra reds so well with his bike. Who is he wearing!

"Time is inexorably ever moving onward; most important then is to consciously decide when to spend that time moving fast and when to pause for breath."

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.
