E News 15 April 2015

Hi All,

Well done to all our members who competed in the Ray White Bayside NT Sprint Triathlon and the junior events at the weekend. 

There is no doubt this event just keeps on getting better and better every year.

We thank club member Korgan Hucent and the team at Ray White Bayside for their continued support of this Triathlon NT event, which also acts as Race #3 of our Sprint Series.

An added bonus, the post race bbq provided by Loan Market Bayside was a huge hit.

Also a loud shout out to Triathlon NT’s event committee headed up by Ange Castle, the RD (TNT President James Geddes), the junior development team guided by Tim Ellison, the Blue Cycles NT crew who were on hand to help out and to all the many wonderful volunteers who worked their butts off on Saturday. Congrats to you all on an amazing Super Saturday of Tri.

9.  Notice of bike path closure:  To allow for works to continue on the Stuart Highway/Temple Terrace intersection upgrade and maintain a safe access route for cyclists, a detour has been put in place as of 14 April 2015.  The cycle path detour is fully sealed and located approximately 50m further back from the Stuart Highway. It will allow cyclists to continue to travel the same route, without travelling close to the construction site. It is anticipated that the detour will remain in place for the duration of the project.
