Andrew Herbert was the highest place Nomad in the Bedfordshire Road CC hosted, Interclub 15 time trial which took place earlier today (Sunday).
A bumper field of 58 competitors drawn from CC Ashwell, Icknield RC and Beds Road CC pitted their time trialling wits against one of the strongest Nomads teams to have been fielded for quite some time.
The Cardington to Shefford course featured a couple of particularly steep climbs (up to one in ten gradient in places) and saw many riders face blustery and gusting winds from the west. Ben Wilson and Simon Doyle managed to ride sub-37 minutes for the 15 miles.
Nick Hickman, Mike Webb, Warren Richards, Gavin Ashfield and Nick Senechal managed to dip under the 40 minute mark. Richards and Ashfield are showing great promise in what is still their rookie season in the discipline. Leanne Cutler proved that girl power is on the up with a fifth place in the ladies' competition.
