The Leicester Cyclocross League visits the beautiful grounds of Misterton Hall for round 6 of the season. Hosted by Welland Valley Cycling Club and Mrs Craven of Misterton Hall round 6 of the league takes place in the grounds, featuring wooded climbs, a boating lake and open stretches with various gradients the course offers a challenge for riders of all ages and abilities. My film starts with the pre-race preparation of the bikes in the pits before moving to the start line for the beginning of the race. During the race we see the riders taking on the various parts of the course from decorative bridges over streams to tall wooded areas with steep gradients, Misterton Hall itself provides a grand backdrop as the cyclists pass the boating lake before we return to the finish line to see the last lap bell rung and the winners cross the line. As the credits roll we see the bikes being washed down ready for their next race.

It's over to the start line next where after a blast from a whistle we see the competitors tackle the course. Later we hear the last lap bell ring before the chequered flag is waved to signal the end of the race and the racers learn their timings.
