The inaugural Edinburgh Nocturne takes place on Saturday (May 30), with a world-class field now confirmed for the Elite Criterium race.

The Nocturne Series expanded for 2009 and the first event in Edinburgh will set the precedent for high-quality and exciting night-time cycling events in the UK. Garmin-Slipstream duo David Millar and Cameron Meyer will line up against top UK riders from Rapha Condor, Candi TV/Marshalls Pasta, Halfords Bikehut and Plowman Craven riders.

In testament to the inclusivity that the Nocturne Series provides, spectators will be able to witness all different types of races on the night, as well as have a go themselves on the Rollapaluza roller racing rig on the main stage. The popular folding bike race looks set to be fast and furious with 25 entrants, suited and booted, hoping to take the first prize of a Dahon MuP8 worth £600.
