Anahilt TT

The first night out at Anahilt thankfully saw the strong winds of the past few days die down... a little! the rain also held off to make it a decent night for those who turned out.

Peter Morrison took the honours with Ronnie and Conor P completing the podium.

It’s hard to say which rider should hang their head in shame after tonight’s race... Mark G, who having competed here last year, missed the turn or Aidan “I live around the corner” McM who also took the detour into Ballynahinch - extra training miles though lads, right?

Peter M - 21:39
Ronnie Smart - 23:30
Conor P - 24:21
Peter McG - 25:33
Gary H - 29:11
Mark G - 33:07
Aidan McM - 35:12

Thanks to Emma, Desi, Frank and Geraldine for safety and timekeeping duties.

Next week is back to Killynire - Peter Morrison and Peter Kelly have volunteered to marshal.

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.
