Muddy Mallory - Leicestershire Cyclocross League

The Leicestershire Cyclocross League rolls into a very Muddy Mallory Park racetrack for the last races of the season .

We join the action, as usual, at the pits as the riders and teams prep the bikes for a days racing out on the course there`s always some action going on as the busy programme of racing for all ages continues. Back at the start and with the All Saints Church and Memorial to Ada Lovelace as a back drop the names are called as the riders make their way to the start line. At the start the Church bell rings unintentionally signalling 1 minute to race start, and their off !!, The most daredevil group of wacky.. No wait wrong sport, although we are at a race track of course !. The Muddy Mallory conditions are evident as the race progresses with riders speeding past the pits and mud flying from the wheels of their bikes. As brakes squeal and they navigate the course the bell is rung to signal the last lap and the race winner pulls a wheelie as he crosses the finish line !. With racing over for the day and indeed the season the riders (and myself) return to their vehicles to remove the mud from shoes etc
