Drumbo Hill Climb (24th May 2011)

The Drumbo Hill climbs for 2.1 miles from the Homestead. This year the climb was double trouble with the riders starting their second climb exactly 30 mins after their first start.



All times were very consistent with some negative splits. Forget fancy bikes, those that could clip-in first time going uphill were off to a good start. This is different from jumping the starters countdown which a certain person was guilty of. A super-injunction has been taken out to protect this rider but I'm sure we will all know who it is before next Tuesday.

Best excuse of the night, could it be Ed's puncture or Clifford's rubbing back brake? Well, spare a thought for Vaughan who, first to head out, encountered a road full of dairy cows crossing fields (on the steepest part of the hill as well).



On the fashion side Ali was sporting a new top she bought with a winners voucher from last years TT awards night. Guest rider Mike Millar obviously dresses "always prepared to cycle" because he appeared to have his full cycling gear on under his clothes despite initially turning up to spectate! Eamon was not wearing his white calfy things this week.

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.
