Newport Nocturne

The event was developed in 2005 with the addition of the "One Lap Challenge", specifically designed for track cyclists.

In 2007, the event was made up of three races: the British Cycling Elite Circuit race, a past masters race and a showcase event involving British Tour de France riders Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas, along with Olympic medalist Rob Hayles.

The racers then turn left onto Avenue Road – a quiet, predominantly residential area.

The racers then turn at the bowling club and head down Granville Avenue before going back on the High Street to the finishing line.

The 2010 Nocturne was held on 4 September 2010, with British cycling's leading female stars including Victoria Pendleton and Nicole Cooke turning up to compete.
