Hitchin Nomads 25 Mile TT - F14/12 Report - 2012

Congratulations to all riders who took part in our event and who recorded strong times or improvements for the course or distance on the day. 

Michael Hutchinson (In-Gear Quickvit Trainsharp RT) rode to an impressive victory in the Hitchin Nomads CC promoted Millennium Series event on Saturday 2nd June 2012.  Averaging just on 30 mph, Hutchinson's time of 50.16 was five minutes faster than his nearest rivals. Ross Clarke (Team Milton Keynes) posted 55.25 for the distance with Trevor Burke of Finchley RT coming in third with a 55.58.

Nine riders including Andy Herbert (HNCC) posted sub-hour times on what was a less than ideal day. Leading lady was Helen Boatman (Team Milton Keynes), who with Steve Clarke and previously mentioned Ross Clarke took the team prize with a cumulative time of 2.58.54. Junior rider Ben Wilson (Welwyn Wheelers) posted 1.03.36.

This was the second open event which has seen a serious Nomads presence this year. Well done to James Gomm on improving his pb for the distance and to Nigel Spence and James Spence. Nigel Wilson ventured forth with his new Cinelli and tri-bars and completed the Nomads team on the day.Timekeeping were John Pick and Frank Turner.
