Temple - league#6 (23rd June 2015)

Before the Temple TT tonight the sun was shining bright, the wind was unnoticed and a few people had showed up.
Just as the stopwatches were started Mr. Kane noticed he’d actually acquired a POA and was given precisely 13 minutes to fix his front tub.  Help was given in the form of admiring spectators.
After the TT had started the wind picked up – and everyone else arrived!
There were many pre-race disclaimers as legs were still feeling the hills from Sundays Fondo.  In the end though, it didn’t seem to affect the excellent results as shown below.  Double disclaimer went to Enda whose head was well up coming into finish.  Just as he was about to start l’attack on the last hill didn’t his chain come off.
It was nice to see a wide range of clubs represented tonight.

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.
