The 9th of April brought an evening that was near perfect for cycling, clear skies, lightish wind, great visibility... just a pity about those hills and other racers pushing us all to exhaustion!
Great to see new faces appearing again this week, with Brian even risking the start of the big match to attend. Conor, Peter Morrison, Vaughan, Desi and Ronnie made their first appearances of the season as well. Welcome John and Ryan to the legends hall of pain!
Vaughan continued where he left off last season posting the fastest time, with Peter M (“I haven’t been on the bike much”) and Conor McG pushing him hard. Special mention to Ryan who rode more than most by heading to the turnaround to begin the race and just about making the start line in Ballygowan!

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.
