Annahilt - 30th May 2018

The annual excursion to Annahilt resulted in a night of firsts at the TT this evening as 10 riders enjoyed a spin in the sunshine around the county down village.

The first time all riders were present and correct prior to the official start time of 7pm. 
The first time all riders took the correct left turn before Ballynahinch (phew....)
And also the first time everyone enjoyed the finishing straight thanks to the newly resurfaced road. 

The boys were led home by Mark Millar fresh from the podium at the Cutra Castle Gauntlet over the weekend, The magic from Galway also seemed to rub off on Emma Kerr who led home the girls - a blind eye turned by the commissaires to any vehicular drafting that may or may not have occurred out on course "I haven't seen that new film called Tractor yet - but i did see the trailer"

Thanks to Mark Hanna for timekeeping; good luck at Challenge Venice this coming weekend .
And to Conor P for standing at the edge of the road and telling people to turn left. 

Next week is the Temple course with a 7pm start time and Steve B on the watch.

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.
