Time Trials and Club Championships Photos
Yesterday's time trial had greatly reduced numbers, probably because everyone was so surprised to see some rain they stayed home to watch it!

Photos from Sunday's Club Championships are also now on the web.

Another Thursday has passed and so too has another fun time trial. We had another night with a testing headwind but Big Kev (with his new equipment) showed us how to take on the wind as he finished only 14 seconds off his PB. Ty and Tara Manning both put in great efforts to be the only riders in the long course to achieve PBs on the night. Well done! Results are up.
3/2/08 - Club Handicapped Tri

Des still did the time trial before the 138km ride from Mannum through Mount Pleasant, Woodside, Callington, Langhorne Creek and finally finishing in Strathalbyn.
Helen Roach returned from northern NSW to join our team (missing from photo). She has obviously got used to the warmer conditions interstate and set the quickest finishing time for the club, 4hrs and 3minutes for the long course. Several other club members started in Woodside to complete a 74km ride to Langhorne Creek and Strathalbyn also. The Tribesters were only a few of the 3000+ cyclists who joined in The Challenge Rides.

13/1/08 - State Series Triathlon and Teams Time Trial
Today's State Series event saw a great turnout from the Tribe. The weather provided a surprise for the day with heavy rain which cleared before the first event started. That familiar old head wind on Military Road provided a challenge but we still saw some great achievements with Allan, Asha, Catherine, Emily, Emma, Jess, Kay and Tara all winning their age groups. The Clippingdale family had entries in the Mini, Tinman and Challenge distances and several new club members gave the West Lakes course a go for the first time. Well done to everyone who competed.
Thursday's teams time trial was shortened to one lap due to the heat and proved to be a really fun event. Thanks to Allan, Denise and Carl for their hospitality for the BBQ that followed, it was a terrific night to eat outdoors. Expect another teams time trial before the end of the season.
9/1/08 - Teams Time Trial

18/11/07 - Hindmarsh Island Triathlon
Today saw the first ever Hindmarsh Island Club Triathlon. The weather and course were reportedly excellent and 21 Tribesters turned out for the competition. There was strong competition throughout the long course event with Rob first out of the water and Emily in hot pursuit. However, Mark B put in a strong ride and then a blinder of a run to take the out the race in 1:03:12. The short course saw a great comeback from Carl who, despite a less than desirable lead-up to the event, took the lead from start to finish. Well done to all those completing their first triathlon and thanks to all the volunteers that helped out today.
