Briercliffe 10 23/04/2013 - Evening Series Round 4 - Report

With numbers matching last week's bumper crop of 24 riders the evening also proved generous following one of the warmest days of the year so far, Round 4 of the Nomads' Briercliffe evening series had the potential to see fast times notched on the results sheet. 

Temperatures were in the mid-teens and a gentle South Westerly wind blew riders along the Growers.  

Ben Wilson was again the first Nomad home with a slightly faster time from last week's effort. He recorded 24m 12s.

Guest rider Jim Moffatt of Virgin Active recorded the fastest time of the season so far with an impressive 22m 48s. 

Time keepers and assistants for the evening were Frank Turner, Geoff Perry, James Spence and Tony Furby, with David Rossall honing his photographic skills on the final climb to capture the look of pain in the riders' faces on the climb in to the finish.
