Carryduff - 15th May 2018

"We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails"
- Dolly Parton

The first run of the year on the Carryduff circuit proved a windy affair. The wind that fast sailed the riders towards Saintfield became a strong headwind on the homeward legs.

Nevertheless all 8 riders powered around the course. A special mention to Leeann on her first TT ever! Leeann captured the spirit of the TTs at the end when she said "I'm just here to improve". And that in a nutshell is what it is all about.

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.
