Race round up - 15 Sept 2012

Stevenage CC F14/12
Three Nomads took part in the Stevenage CC promoted 12 mile time trial on 15 Sept 2012. The course, based on a circuit north of Guilden Morden is technically demanding with a series of undulations and chicanes to negotiate. Andy Herbert and Simon Doyle came home with a time of 27m 34s to claim third place in the 2 up team time trial competition. They were nine seconds off second place. First home were Andrew Hastings and Trevor Burke of Finchley RT (25m 12s).

Mike Webb flew the flag for the club in the solo event. Having had a break from competition Mike marked his return to the testing circuit with a 31m 04s for the same distance. The winner of the solo event was Ashley Cox, Spirit RT. Cox displayed his class with a superlative 24.17. This is an impressive time especially given the distance he put in to class riders such as Jon Shubert and Ross Clarke.
