My film features some of the pre-race atmosphere and start of the race in Oakham before following the cyclists out into the surrounding countryside and showcases the spectacular speed at which the bikes travel. The Rutland to Melton Cicle Classic is a road bicycle race that starts in Oakham and finishes in Melton Mowbray. The race features many off-road sections and short, sharp climbs on narrow farm tracks in this way it is similar to the Paris–Roubaix and Tour of Flanders races.

My film follows two pannier tanks on the evening of December 1st 2013 as they arrive at Melton Mowbray Station to pick up passengers visiting the towns Christmas market before travelling on to Narborough Station lit only by the yellow glow of the station lights they make for an impressive sight as they thunder along the tracks.
