Peter McGuckin and Gary Hazlett officiated on a dark, but thankfully rain free night, marshalling a dozen dazzling riders speeding their way around the Harbour Estate TT.
There was a warm welcome for new riders Paul McAllister and Michelle McCoy, with Paul taking the honours from Peter Morrison at the end to take first place. Conor Preshaw, (not McGandy) completed the podium. Even the late arriving Peter Kelly managed to complete the race ahead of those who stayed at home fearing a downpour!
Paul McAllister - 30:56
Peter Morrison - 31:23
Conor Preshaw - 34:20
John Magill - 34:45
Ronnie Smart - 35:16
Steve Begley - 36:41

Desi McHenry - 37:22

All riders confirmed their entry to the head to head competition - the first night of racing is 14th May with the draw taking place at next week’s race at Killinchy.
Ronnie has volunteered to marshal next week, we need another to help out, so please let Gary know if you can do this.
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.
