    You guys take advantage while RAAM is away ... and doing that on his own turf. It's like a World TT without Cancellara ...

    Count me in. Be warned I expect to be strongly challenging for that ice cream. Time depends on the wind - big wind with me <10mins, big wind agin me >11mins

    On the basis that there's a bloke who won a club tt up the hill and another bloke who isthe current nationa hill climb champion, I thini that the level of competition is already hot enough for most of the freds here.
    If RAAM was serious he wouldn't be swanning off on his holiers.

    Mondays are usually recovery days (racing/training Saturday/Sunday) so not the best for an all out TT, but I may be along anyway.

    Good move, getting in the excuses early.

    Seeing as someone went to the bother of dragging SSB into this - I'll ask the question - do the "organisers" have adequate insurance for this event?

    It's not a race. Just a few friends timing each other up a hill, with everyone doing it at their own risk.

    By definition - isn't a time trial a race?

    Do participants have to sign a disclaimer?

    If there was an incident with a vehicle how with the drivers insurance company / solicitor view things?

    Under these circumstances, I cannot sanction such an event.

    Ok let's settle on Tuesday 17th, it's the most popular date. One for your calendar.

    Maybe a mod could alter the title of the thread to include the date? You can cycle whatever bike you want. We can iron our the details closer to the day

    Thats pushing it for me regarding getting home in the light(no lights for bike). Might have to pass.

    Recommend a southwestside(ie closer to me) TT up Tallagh Hill some time. Tougher than that climb out of Howth for sure!
