Killynure - 23rd July 2019

Back to "Hillynure" after a two week recess and nine eager beavers turned up to bath in the pleasant sunshine.

Nicola undertook timekeeping duties for the first time. Not one to settle on what has gone before she made the suggestion that riders could shout their own times at the finish. Oh what a night of PBs that would have been. In the end the traditional way of timekeeping was taken and once the discovery made that mins only update every 60 seconds it was plain sailing. Everyone got home safety and got a pretty accurate time (thanks to the use of mobile phone technology for doing time subtraction - and to think astronauts made it to the moon 50 years ago with less computing power!).

Worthy call out to Stevo (ex-QUBTRI, ex-Invictus) who turned up from nowhere and posted a solid time on a road bike.

Keep on movin' 
Keep climbin' 
Keep the faith, baby 
It's all about — it's all about the climb

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.
