Every summer Coach John Darcy hosts the Wicklow Tri Bike Time Trial league. This comprises of 6 TT Races over the summer starting from the Beehive in Wicklow. This is a super event and excellent training for all levels. The fastest riders take off last so we aim to have all participants finish at the same time. Please review the rules below and in case of new members please check the maps! There have been a few cyclists who have taken the wrong turn…
Remember, the roads are not closed for this event so please follow the standard rules of the road. We will have marshalls at the roundabout – however they do not have the rights to stop traffic but we can alert you if the road is clear!
