2up team time trial - results and report (17/03/2012)

The second race of the Nomads' calendar took place on a grey and damp St Patrick's Day but 17 riders graced the Bedforshire roads with their presence. With a shift to Saturday racing James Gomm's strategy of enticing club members and our friends from Stevenage, Welwyn and Team Salesengine seems to be paying early dividends.

A range of pairings saw Neil Fraser and Simon Alibon nick the verdict by 13 seconds with a very tidy ride.

Interclub 30 and 2-up time trial

The date for the Interclub 30 has now been confirmed as Saturday 19th May 2012, so please add it to you diaries. Also don't forget that it is the 2-up time trial this Saturday with the first rider off at 08:30 (so try and arrive by 08:15 at the latest). 

A map and description of the 25 course can be found at the following link for those who are unfamiliar with it:

Timekeeping
We are still looking for volunteers to assist in the timekeeping this season, so anyone who is interested in helping should come down to either this event or the Medium Gear the following Saturday (24th March 2012) and Frank Turner will show you the ropes (remember without timekeepers we would be unable to put on the Time Trials and we're not expecting people to do all the events, just a few to help spread the responsibility).
