Stokesley Duathlon
Congratulations to all 15 Darlington Tri members who did the club proud in the first major duathlon of the season at Stokesley last Sunday. Many were trying this type of event for the first time and the feedback was generally very positive, although no-one liked the headwind up to Hutton Rudby! Some great performances in there and well done to everyone.

A warm welcome to Vicky who joined us for the first time last Sunday.
BIKE MAINTENANCE SESSION – THANKS TO EVERYONE
We had 17 members at Branksome School yesterday and it was great to pick up some tips and advice from Alan, Rich and Graeme. A big thanks to them. Some members who couldn’t make it have asked if we can arrange a repeat session and we hope to set this up in the near future.

Also check out the Events section in the Forum for more information or post upcoming races that you think other members will be interested in – swim, bike or run.

DarloTri Suit has arrived!
Michelle sporting the new DarlingtonTri tri suit. Click the thumbnails for larger images.
A suit for all occasions…
At last our new sample tri suit has arrived from Portugal! We think it looks great, and the feedback so far has been good.
More info to come soon on sizes and pricing etc. as this is our initial sample print.
Many thanks to Michelle C for modelling this (doing a much better job of it than I could possible do!).
