Rearranged Titanic TT

Another great turnout with a few new faces joining in. A very warm welcome to Mary Carey and Nicola McGuigan who have joined the ranks of the Tuesday night torture club.

Very different conditions tonight resulting in slightly slower times than last week but with no less effort.

Vaughan took the honours from Peter Morrison chasing him down hard having started near the back.. the price of arriving late! Conor P completed the podium.

Vaughan P - 31:44
Glen P - 34:47
Conor P - 34:15
Aidan McM - 40:05
Gary H - 43:29
Desi McH - 38:25
Peter McG - 38:07
Nicola McG - 46:18
Mary C - 43:21
Peter M - 32:17
Steve B - 37:34
Brian R - 38:45

Thanks To Ronnie S and Mark G for the timekeeping duties.

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.
