Dear Belpark member- the first of our Piranha-Belpark face-offs starts next week with our Time Trial League. This is a series of 4 TT training events held on open roads over three venues, between January and April. The aim is to help participants prepare for the upcoming triathlon season The TT is open to ALL levels of cyclists and we would encourage ALL club members to participate as much as possible. The only cost to participants is a nominal fee of €2 per person per event in order to help off-set the cost of St John's ambulance - with the two clubs picking up the remaining cost equally between them. The winners in both male and female categories will each receive the series winning trophy - along with 12 months of boasting rights in the winner’s respective club!! The success of this series is predicated on the participation of club members as cyclists - but also as volunteer marshals (8 or 9 needed for each event, 4 from each club). With that in mind anyone who wishes to participate in any of the events must also be prepared to marshal in at least one of the events. Participants can suggest a date on which they are prepared to marshal and the organisers will seek to satisfy the preferences on a best endeavour basis. Simply just fill in the google form with your details and we’ll get the ball rolling. goo.gl/forms/QNSFdVFvjR More details including routes and rules are in the attached doc.

Delighted to see TT league going ahead again. I cant make this Sunday myself but hope to go some of other TT's & would highly recommend the TT League for everyone from beginners/experienced triathletes. It is great from both a training & social perspective, and you really cant be too fast or too slow! I know both club committees have to put in a lot of work to organise the logistics with regard to TT League so hopefully the members will support it & there will be a good showing from Belparkers thus Sunday & at rest of the league dates.

Would like to do the two N2 TTs (once as volunteer and once as cyclists). Is there anyone who might pass Dundrum or so to pick me up?

I'm keen for that! Need to be home early so that suits me. Hopefully weather plays ball!! I promise not to be a mudguard buzzkill in light of the TT nature of the spin!

Yep - should be fine, Chris. Will confirm closer to Sunday; if its lashing I might just be a lightweight and drive out. Can't have anything affecting my TT times.
