The following write up is coutesy of Ros Clarke: “Youth Tour of Scotland – just south of Perth: Nicole rode this over 6th 7th and 8th April. It was a stage race for U16 and U14 girls teams. She rode in a composite team, which ended up being called Liverpool North End. The team all rode in BNECC jerseys, thanks to Helen Forbes, Vicky Stinton and Jessica  Wilkinson. First stage was a 40 minute town centre crit in Perth, with very sharp turns, Nicole was 11th out of 40. Later on Sunday they did a short timetrial, Nicole was 23 and dropped to 12th overall. Monday stage 3 was a 30km(1 hour for winner) rolling closed road stage with a climb in each lap. Nicole was 14th and moved back to 11th overall. Stage 4 was a 50 min circuit race, Nicole was 13th and retained her 11th place, she was the 4th U14 rider.”
