Killynure - League Race #6 (17th May 2011)

The Killynure TT marked the halfway point of the league. Conditions were dry with a moderate crosswind.

Gareth selfishly entertained the ladies while they waited on the start ramp by teasing them with glimpses of his ripped torso. Or so they at least imagined since the ripped torso was hidden under under a mat of shaggy hair.

After the bursleque was out of the way the TT started off proper. In the girls league Lowry stormed to another victory and Bingham made a very good return in 3rd place after being away for a few weeks.

In the boys league Enda took the comeback special King role and the honours. Two other fast improving notables were Michael Lyons and Kieran McVeigh both who have been moving steadily though the positions each week.

Next week is a hill climb at Drumbo. Please park at the car park by Drumbeg bridge. The format is starting from the Homestead, race to the top before returning to the Homestead at a leisurely pace. Then, exactly 30 mins after your first start you do the climb again. The two climb times will be combined to give a total. Confused; you will be!

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.
