Temple 2 LAP (24th July 2012)

It looked like we might miss the rain and that would have been the case if this had been a regular one lap affair. However, it was the second 2UP of the year and the rain hammered down on the second lap.

The smart riders came pre-fuelled on the new must-do diet of jam sandwiches and water; if it's good enough for The Flying Scotman then it's good enough for us. To be fair to Mr McHenry has practiced this secret for years but we all put it down to a thrifty nature.

Girlie honours go to Miss Lowry tonight who broke the hour. Excuse of the night goes to John McManus who claimed he is not up to time trialling yet after recently completing La Marmotte only 2 weeks ago. He is never going to win the Tour; you can bet your house on that!

Thanks to Neville for compiling the results from within the climate controlled comfort of his car. Incidentally the results below have been dumbed down for consumption by the mass populus. The original spreadsheet data looks like the control system output of a nuclear power plant.

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.

Calendar
