The anual Dundee Thistle Stage Race was run in the middle of May with a full field and great weather to help the riders and helpers alike.

The stage race is split into a morning prologue (2 miles) up the law at the centre of Dundee, with a flattish afternoon road race around kettins (60 miles). On the second day a hilly course (45 miles) awaits those still in the chase with three knapp ciruits and six climbs in total

Clear of the field was Jack Woodward (Bicycle Works) who tied for first place in the prologue, sat tight on the first stage where it was dificult to gain time on the flats, and blew everyone else away on the last lap of the Knapp circuit with an excellent display of power and speed.

Receiving his first place prize Woodward seemed a bit surprised and revealed that this was the first time he had won anything. With the weekends performance we can be sure to see his name again!
