Carryduff - League Race #9 (22nd June 2010)

First up apologies to Enda Marron who was announced as coming in second place. How did we we doubt him? An error with the time offsets resulted in the last few people on the time-sheet being 30 seconds *slower* than thought. The impact of this was that Enda narrowly beat Paul and Wes hammered the tri-suited Phil Boyd.

It was good to see Dave Lonnen giving up the time keeping and taking part in his first TT of the year. Also making their debut in 2010 was "monster" cyclist Maeve Savage who was third lady home.

The mechanical this week went to Glen Pollock with a broken spoke in the rear wheel after just 3 miles.

Welcome back Kate. Kate was fresh back from honeymooning and maybe looking a little too fresh at the end. Kate gets a pass just for this week.

Finally there were silently voiced reports of drafting happening on the course! This will need monitored and guilty culprits named and shamed at the prize giving. Hopefully no sporting heroes reputations will be ruined.

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.
