Ballynahinch Out and Back


Marshal McHenry was in fine fettle, freely making up the course and rules on the spot. First the start was moved to the bus layby and then the rest time at the turnaround reduced to a paltry 2mins!

"Find the flask we're playin' fast and loose
(Oh, you're gonna see a shiver-shimmy-shake)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz"
- from the musical

 It has been officially minuted that statistically the girls so far this season have a very poor record of starting on time.

 As for the training session itself it was first time in history most people got negative splits, helped by a wicked little southerly.

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.
