Sunday, 1 April 2018

The 10th April is coming around fast which is the first night of the time trial league for 2018. 

To help prepare the new members for the league, we are going to run a couple of tours around the main routes that are used. 

3rd April - 18:45 - we will lead a run along the Killynure route - this won't be timed, its just an opportunity for the new members to see the course before the first race on the 10th - meet at the Carryduff roundabout at 18:30
                             you will be shown the sign in location for the first event on the 10th. 

8th April - 10:00 - A group will take a longer run around the Temple and Carryduff routes - meet at the Carryduff roundabout at 10:00

15th April - 10:00 - another opportunity for newbies to see the routes with Conor Preshaw leading - again, Carryduff roundabout at 10:00


Entry Central
Keep your eyes posted over the next few days for Entry Central being opened to allow you to register and pay the entry fee. The fee is used to fund our summer social night and end of season awards dinner and prizes. 

Triathlon Ireland Membership. 
Please do remember to bring your TI cards with you. The TI membership provides us all with important insurance cover for these training events and as organisers we are required to be sure that you are adequately covered in the unlikely event of an accident. 

First race
Please arrive early for the first event to allow for registration and administration around capturing the TI information. 

Marshalls and Timekeepers
For most races, we will need two volunteers for marshalling and timekeeping. A rota will be drawn up for you to volunteer. We would ask that you volunteer for at least two events through the year

I look forward to seeing you all over the next week or so, 

Happy riding!

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.
