Killynure - League#10 (14th Aug 2012)

The weather was unusually pleasant this evening with some blue sky arching over the Killynure Road. Also for a change the riders went off on 1 min intervals rather than 30 secs.

Glen Pollock punctured on the cycle up to Killynure but was able to carry out a repair and still make the start. It should be noted that due to Pollock's weak upper body strength he could only pump around 80 psi  into the new tube. More pressups required!

The TT bike twins of Morrison and Millar continued their good form finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively. Meanwhile Michael Davis is to work on his confidence for next week. The "Game of Thrones" extra was heard at the start saying "put me first, I'm slow". Now, Davis does not need quite as much confidence as Jamie Lannister but a bit more positive mental atitude should help.

In the Ladies race the benevolent Miss Lowry was clear first with Miss Kerr slipping back a few places to 4th position. In the battle of the Aislings it was the Allum one that got the better on Killynure this time.

Note: A distinct lack of Olympians tonight who will no doubt be back in force next week with all their new gear.

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.
