The inaugural Nomads' Autumn Series goes from strength to strength, with the Briercliffe course forming the basis for Round 3 of the 4 event series. Unlike Round 1, the weather was dry and clear and the fresh morning breeze blew away the cobwebs as riders from several local clubs pitted their ability against the clock.
Andy Saunders PB'ed for the course with an impressive "short 24" and was unlucky not to pip Gavin Ashfield to top spot for the Nomads. Ashfield produced another great ride to take first place in the Nomads competition. Jason Stuart continued to show great form around the Briercliffe course to record another sub-24 minute time. Simon Doyle edged out James Gomm following their ride on the F15/10 course the preceding day.
The final event in the series takes place next Sunday (15th) on the Whitwell circuit, first rider off at 0901h.
