Saturday night, and the Nocturne Series came to Edinburgh. Various categories of riders raced around a short, hilly loop centred on the Grassmarket. The evening culminated in the elite pro race, which was won by sort-of-local boy and Tour de France maillot jaune wearer David Millar, ably assisted by teammate and new boy Cameron Meyer. The speed those guys rolled up the cobbles was unbelievable. Meanwhile, I had a go on the Rollapaluza roller racing rig and managed a 500m sprint in 25.25s, which seemed not bad for an old geezer. Click the photo to see my race face, if you dare. And a blurry photo of Millar and Meyer about to lap the main field. Lots of people took better pictures than I did, you can see some here.
