Colin

Following on from Autumn TQCC Team Brief when we asked you for your nominations for a number of “categories” and also to share with us your “selfies” for this pandemic cycling year, this is the Roll of Honour!

Well done to all those nominated, those who shared their “selfies” and to all of our club members who have done real or virtual miles during a very challenging year.

We will be delivering the Caps over the coming few weeks.

Let’s hope we can all be back cycling on the roads together in 2021.

New restrictions have been agreed by the Northern Ireland Executive to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 within the community. The restrictions will come into force at midnight on Friday 27th November for a period of 2 weeks. The implications for cycling clubs, members and activities are set out below.

Individual Training

Training must only be carried out on an individual basis, or with members of your own household.

Club & Group Training

All club and group training must be suspended for Friday 27th November for two weeks until Friday 11th December. School PE can continue.

Events

Events and races are not permitted while the current restrictions remain in place.

These restrictions are due to end on Friday 11th December, and we will endeavour to issue guidance on what activity can take place from then as early as possible. Any changes due to further updates from the NI Executive or Sport NO will be communicated as soon as possible.

‘pandemic peddlers’ who put the miles in.

Clarification on TQCC caps for 2020:
Following a number of queries the committee wish to clarify that in relation to “selfies” for our 2020 cap; these can be from any ride in 2020, not simply from date of Team Brief issue. And if you didn’t take a selfie, a photo of your ride from Strava is also fine. 😃 In addition we have added 3 additional locations , namely Eden, Clotworthy and Georgian.
Could we ask that , as detailed in the Team Brief, please let us know if you are in “contention “ for a Cap by 31st October, and then submit your pictures by us by the end of November, so that we can get these ordered and delivered to you by the end of 2020. Thanks
