The randomly drawn pairing of Kettyle and Lyons proved unbeatable in the first 2UP of the season. How these two top cyclists ended up in different halves of the draw in the first place is under investigation.
Despite going on 1 minute intervals there were plenty of battles along the course as riders caught one and another. Most pairs remained together and danced a light fandango down the Comber Road on what was a pleasant evening weatherwise.
All smiles for the camera before the partner pairing draw.

Do not adjust your monitor contrast; ginger is this year's red.
Thanks to everyone for competing in the right spirit and making the night enjoyable. Commiserations to Shane for pairing with European Duathlon Age Group winner Paul Carroll. For his reward Shane will now be able to live the dream and eat as many Jaffa Cakes as he wants.

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.
