24/04/2012 - Briercliffe 10 Results
A sunny but cool evening with a light breeze against the riders on the long straight to GM Growers, saw conditions that many of the 15 riders felt were less favourable than last week. However, a number of riders showed improvements in their times, in particular Mark Young who took more than a minute off last week’s time.
Andy Herbert was once again quickest round the course in a super-impressive 23:34. In defiance of a ruling from TT secretary (James Gomm) that Ben should wear flip-flops, Ben Wilson reverted to cycling shoes this week and went sub-24 on Briercliffe for the first time. He did warm-up in desert wellies though.
Timekeeping/pushing off was carried out with aplomb by Clive Collins, Geoff Perry, Frank Turner, and James Spence. Many thanks to all. All riders HNCC unless stated otherwise .

| Ben Wilson's alternative cycling footwear |
Ride of the week goes to Ben Wilson who had forgotten that he had changed the pedals on his bike, so ended up having to ride in trainers on SPDs. Some would say that riding a 24:37 around our course in trainers was a sign of brilliance, others might say that it is just showing off, so Ben will be forced to ride in flip-flops next week to give the rest of us a chance!

Briercliffe Evening 10 - 17/04/2012
There is a possibility that the forthcoming evening 10 will be affected by roadworks near Ireland. If we obtain additional information we will post it here. Alternatively you may want to check on roadworks.org and search for Shefford Road, Central Bedfordshire.

10/04/2012 Briercliffe 10 Results
Round two of the evening series saw some very quick times for early April on this course in warm (ish) but windy conditions. Everybody who rode last week improved on their previous week's time. Well done to Nick Hickman for getting under evens on drop bars (for the first time).
Also thanks go to Frank Turner, Clive Collins and Janice Wilson for timekeeping/ pushing off in what proved to be more pleasant conditions than last week.
A loose dog on the course didn't help matters. Keep your eyes peeled for errant terriers near the top of the Growers on the way in to Old Warden.

Easter time trial results 2012
Several Nomads were in action in open time trials over the Easter weekend.
**There are conflicting reports as to the exact distance of the course - needless to say it's tough no matter how long it is...
Neil JJ Fraser and Ben Wilson posted 1.06.57 and 1.10.47 respectively.
The event was won by Wouter Sybrandy of Team IG Sigma Sport with a strong time of 56.23, averaging just over 26mph for the demanding route. Full results from ctt.org.uk
With expectations high, given the potential for the course to provide the foundation for a fast time, the Nomads team had to battle the cold and stiff northerly headwind on the 5.5 miles out to the turn.
Andy Herbert turned in one of the fastest Nomads' times for some period with a supreme 22.36, claiming 11th spot in the 92 rider field. Simon Doyle in his first open time trial since 2004 posted a robust 23.31.
The conditions seemed to have favoured the heavier riders who could push the bigger gears but this did not deter the hill specialists - Neil JJ Fraser from recording an impressive 24.04 and James Gomm marking a new PB for the distance with 25.23. Clive Collins despite being hampered by traffic on his ride posted 27.55.
Jason Gurney of www.Twenty3c.co.uk won the event with a time of 21.12. Full results from ctt.org.uk
The same course will be used in the Interclub 10 later in April. Initial feedback from the riders that it was one of the best events in terms of safety, marshalling and all round potential to record a personal or season's best.
The event also raised £350 for the East Anglia Air Ambulance.
Welwyn Hilly, 26** mile sporting, 06/04/2012
Good Friday saw the traditional Welwyn Hilly sporting time trial run over 26 miles around Codicote, Hitchin, Offley and Kimpton. Clive Collins sporting the Nomads blue and gold posted 1.16.27.**There are conflicting reports as to the exact distance of the course - needless to say it's tough no matter how long it is...

Team SalesEngine.co.uk open 10, 07/04/2012
Five Nomads ventured to the F15/10 course near Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire to compete in the Team Salesengine.co.uk open 10. This was Steve Robinson's team's inaugural open event although many familiar faces, former Nomads and friends were at hand. Frank Turner who was Start Timekeeper also provide a critque of several rider's bikes (i.e. steel is good, anything else is less so).With expectations high, given the potential for the course to provide the foundation for a fast time, the Nomads team had to battle the cold and stiff northerly headwind on the 5.5 miles out to the turn.
