Even though there are a few events on this weekend, the ride will meet at the usual place, the lodge on the A167 near to the turning to Bearpark at 9am.

Have fun,

I've a friend who is keen to switch from the mountain bike to the roadie and as such would be interested in buying a second hand one to start off with. If anyone is interested in selling one of their 'stock' then please let me know.
A 'large' frame is probably appropriate as she has 34'' legs (lucky so and so!) but a relatively short body (her words not mine!!).

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

We're meeting at the same place this week at the Lodge on the A167 at 9am which is near to the turning to Bearpark.

See you there,

Liz]]> lizl Latest News Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:51:41 +0100 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,250,250#msg-250 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,250,250#msg-250
Some of you may already be familiar with these events however thought I'd pass them onto 'just in case'.

Neil and I attended a number of the events earlier this year as did a number of other DTC members - we found them to be really well organised (and great training for distance events).

Here's the dates for next year:

Coniston: 29th May 2011
Derwent Water: 19th June 2011
Ullswater: 10th July 2011

I'm circulating a message on behalf of a lady we know called Hilary. Hilary has a friend with an autistic child (late teens from memory but may be older) and would like to find someone who'd be willing to instruct him in the swimming pool each week for an hour at a time. It would just be a case of telling him (i) how many lengths of 'x' stroke to complete (ii) when to rest (iii) when to get out etc. This lady is willing to pay someone for their time.

If anyone is interested or has any questions please let me know (corrina@platinumppt.co.uk) and I will forward the appropriate contact details.


Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Last week we headed East again for a steady ride with faster bursts and a stop to sample the delights of the tea shop in Sedgefield.

This week we'll meet at the same time & place;

The Lodge, which is near to the turning to Bearpark at 9am.

Hope to see you there.

PS.Just a reminder, although there will be a ride next week, I will be going to Edinburgh to cheer Hilary on in her challenge to become World Duathlon Champion and I'm sure she'll love to see more support !!! I believe Ian M will be there also.

Go for it Hilary & good luck you can do it.

Awards should go to the kids for getting their cosies on and having a good time on that water slide... It's a shame Neil and I had to leave before Stephen gave us a few salsa lessons (or perhaps you all joined in with the kids on the slide) hehe

Thanks again guys - A lot of hard work, time and effort goes into organising such an event albeit a 'social' one however I'm sure we are not the only ones to appreciate it :)

See you soon!

If you didn't receive the message last week, it was because I forgot to send it....apologies to everyone, blame it on age....

We meet this week at the usual place, the Lodge, on the A167 near to the Bearpark turning at 9am.

I'm looking to do 3hrs easy, if there are any takers.

Lastly, good luck to all those in the Ironman this weekend, especially Helen, we'll be thinking about you.

There's not long to go now. Hope you're all getting rested and de-stressed ahead of the big day.

I'll be thinking about you on Sunday. Hope all goes well, there's no wind, the roads are smooth and the swim is downhill.

I'll leave the last word to Rudyard who was clearly writing in the days before Tri (and female competitors) but you get the gist:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!]]> DPKing Latest News Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:50:05 +0100 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,239,239#msg-239 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,239,239#msg-239

As one of a number of DTC spectators, you gave us all a great show! Really excited about watching you in Bolton for IM 2010... in little under a month! Your achievement from yesterday should really boost your confidence for this mamoth event!

I've got video footage and photo's of you all (nobody escaped!!) - my challenge is getting the time to download etc.... Shall try and do this before we head off on our holiday on Friday!

Does anyone from Durham City do the parkruns - the free 5k races every Saturday? I was looking into them - I believe our closest ones are Newcastle and Sunderland and wondered what people thought of them? Whether it was worth it? Considering trialling the Sunderland one tomorrow - combine it with a nice cycle there and back!

Wondering if anybody else taking part in the QE2 spring tri on Sunday 6th June fancies Taking up the offer of registering and having a practice swim on the actual course the day before between 14:00 - 16:00?

If so let me know on here, drop me a text at 07545 349230 or grab me at training and we could meet up for the practice swim.

Best wishes

I feel like I'm in competition with Liz's Sunday club ride by sending this! Let me stress, from my point of view, there is NO comparison... it's the road bike 'hands down' however, when needs must... the mountain bike makes an appearance!

Anyway, a few of us are meeting at Coxhoe Leisure Centre to start the ride at 09.30 on Sunday.

I'm armed with a map this weekend so will be picking a route west of Durham if anyone would like to join us.


Do get in touch if you are keen:
E: corrina@platinumppt.co.uk
M: 07734678850

Or you can just turn up -[but then you risk bring a solo rider if weather is bad and we decide to cancel].

Have a great weekend!
