Killynure - League#1 (9th April 2013)

Like a Spring Blizzard the TT season sprung back into action on what was a chilly night.

Matt Allum in an effort to beat the cold looked very comfortable in a pair of 40 denier black tights. The "Predator" meets "Ziggy Stardust" look could be set to be this years fashion trend.

For anyone wondering why Vaughan's new TT bike finished mid field it was not the bike's fault. The bike in fact was great and it was Vaughan's calves that packed in 800m before the finish line.

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.
