Killynure Kick Off

On this day:

- 1998 the Good Friday Agreement was signed

- 1935 Vaughan Williams 4th Symphony premiered in London

- 1967 A Man for All Seasons won best film Oscar

 - 2018...
There were seven men for this horrible spring season as the 2018 Lunchtime Legends Time Trial League got off to a damp and miserable start.

Vaughan led these merry men through wind... rain... and fog, home in a fantastic 20:40 given the conditions. Enda, Frank, Steve, Sean, Peter and Arthur all followed home shortly after in what can only be described as a "shocker" weather wise. (Other adjectives were available, we'll leave that to your imagination)

Special mention goes to Ita, the only lady to turn up - unfortunately she didn't quite make the starting line up on time, but did bravely ride the course anyway.

First volunteer points go to Desi and Gary - who will claim the end of season volunteer's prize?

The magnificent seven:

  • Vaughan Purnell     - 20:40
  • Enda Marron          - 23:20
  • Frank Sharkey        - 24:08
  • Steve Begley          - 24:15
  • Sean O'Hagan         - 25:37   
  • Peter McGuckin     - 27:31
  • Arthur McKenna    - 29:07
Well done to the new riders Sean and Arthur.

Earning volunteer points next week at the Ballynahinch TT are Enda, Desi and Frank. The meeting point is opposite Cyril Johnson's as normal. Please arrive early as the race WILL start at 18:45 sharp.

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.
