Killynure - League#4 (13th May 2014)

Never let it be said that the TT crew lack a moral compass. Those present tonight witnessed two selfless good deeds. The first was Heather Bamford stepping in last minute to marshal. Note: teamed with Desi at the finish line there were very few arithmetic mistakes made proving that maybe the education system used to be better than today (not being ageist). The second was Emma Kerr who played domestique to Chris McNevision. Miss Kerr was quick to give her front wheel to McNevision who broke a spoke on his ride in from Lisburn. Not quite sure how Miss Kerr then went on to get the fastest girls time!

Regular training nights at the TT should definitely improve bike speed. A good example is Rachael Sands who did her first ever TT on Killynure less than 2 months ago and tonight took 3 mins off that first time. Rachael is also recovering from a nasty collision with a car door just over a week ago.

In brief,
 - looks like Neil Weir will go back to the road bike on the Killynure course
- Mark "Magnets" Millar has definitely raised his game this year (but can he swim amd run still?)
- Enda is going through a period of soul searching but we are confident he will be back, especially with his favorite 2 LAP at Temple coming up.

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.
