Temple 5th June

As the weather continues to hold up, the racing just keeps getting hotter. Whether its on the new flying machines such as Desi, Vaughan and Mark G are sporting these day, or previous years' legends making the first appearances of the year, the competition is hotting up with PBs being made all over the place.

Vaughan was the leading light this evening, followed closely by the improving Enda, with Glen completing the podium.

A special mention goes out to our very own Captain Fantasic, Peter McG, sailing around just a few weeks after surgery, a startling effort by any standards.

Peter McG - 37:19
Vaughan P - 26:30
Enda M - 27:14
Glen P - 30:53
Mark G - 33:13
Gary H - 36:17
Desi McH - 32:10
Paul H - 31:12

Many thanks to Mark Millar and Steve Begley for the timekeeping.

Next week is the 2 lap version of Temple and Glen has volunteered to watch over proceedings.

Note: Watch out for an email asking you to respond to a Survey Monkey questionnaire. The mid summer ride is on the 19th June and we need to get an idea of numbers for the group ride and BBQ, so please complete the short form.

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.
