The Plean race organised by Stirling Bike Club was always going to be one of the best of the series. Set on a weekday evening instead of the weekend, it was going to involve lights!
The course was a new one for Plean, and really enjoyable. A few tight spots, but mostly flat out on long stretches around the bings. Lap times were around six minutes, which was pretty fast considering the course was just under two miles in length.
The start was fast, and racing en-mass with so many other racers made it more exciting than usual. The dark, lit up only by our lights, and the high speeds, made it pretty exhilarating!
By the 4th lap is was pretty well up the field, sitting on Iain Nimmo’s (SBC/Wheels) wheel. Going into the 5th lap my contact lens fell out, so that was me finished for the night.
James Fraser-Moodie (Pedal Power RT) won. I’ll link to results when they’re available.
I was a bit disappointed as it was one of the best races I’ve done this year, and I was feeling on particularly good form. Always next time!
Update
Results are now available.
