Ballynahinch out and back (14th April 2015)

My homework this week was to express what the TT means to me. Here is my pretty answer:



There was a lucky escape for McHenry tonight when a car stopped hard in front of him. McHenry called on all his years' experience of running into the back of cars and managed to swerve around the back of the car. The manoeuvre  took the wing mirror off the car but McHenry managed to remain upright. Apart from a scraped left arm the wood-chopper was able to battle on.

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.
