Despite freezing conditions, the Nomads' time trial taster session proved popular. The aim of the session was to encourage riders new to time trialling to come and find out a little bit more about how to do it, what to do and to ride around with more experienced riders to get a feel for parts of the club course. Riders were then given the opportunity to have a go a short (5 mile) loop based on the first half of the club "10" course.
