Round 2 - 2 up time trial - Lurgan Road

[manuel6b]

This Thursday is the first of the 2-up time trials which takes place on the Lurgan Road, Dromore.
www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/2475553

Riders set off in pairs and work together to get the best time over the 10 mile distance. The clock stops when the second rider crosses the line.

Some advice I found online
teamgrumpy.org/index.php/advice/how-to-ride-2-up-time-trials
There's loads of other advice out there....

Hi All

I know its last minute but Id like to take part in this, and this would be my first 10mile TT... (I recently completed the 5mile TT IN 15+mins, so Im not that fast)

I need a partner so if anyone wants to take me on board and give an introduction to 2up TT Id be very grateful....

Thanks

Bryce

Bryce, it was my first TT last week also and our times were very close. I can't go tomorrow night, I have to work late, but can you keep me in mind for the next 2 up if you are still looking for a partner? Thanks, Barry.

[bryce]

Will do and thanks for the reply Barry, much appreciated. Check your PM's.

Martin will get you a suitable team mate tomorrow night Bryce! There will be a few folk I'm sure who aren't teamed up. I haven't heard from my own lead man in a week. I've heard he left the country to try and get out of it.

Timekeepers Phil O'Neill & Davy Chambers
Marshalls John McGuigan, Rodney Stewart & Martin McAnulty

Well done to everyone who competed and thanks for your patience at the start ... unfortunately all sorts of chaos arises when Martin is not about!

It's also worth mentioning a member of the public made a complaint to one of the marshals that riders were riding without tail lights ... please be sure to bring them next week!

On cloudy early season evenings like tonight light starts fading from 7 and it is for riders own safety as well as other road users.

Cheers for taking control there Phil, A well run night.

Cheers to all the other helpers too.

Agreed on the rear lights. Gary Bailie had a good one on, a nice homing beacon from a long way out to aim for in the dull light :-)

[garybailie]

Barry the way you are riding at the minute, I'm just praying for a galeforce downhill TT this year, so the freewheelers can really shine, like my light

Well run tonight Phil and thanks to all the marshalls,

[clydie]

Thanks Phil for sorting things out at the start and producing such a prompt set of results. Thanks also to John, Davy, Rodney and Martin.

Well done to all the quick boys especially those on standard bike set ups. Some great times!

[Gavin]

Well run night by starters , time keepers and marshals ..... Everyone needs to get those rear lights on for next week !!!!!!
