As a Bike It school and as part of our commitment to encourage active travel to school, I’m delighted to announce that we will be taking part in the Sustrans Virtual Bike Race 2010, starting Monday 1 March.
Over 150 schools competed in last year’s virtual race around the world, generating over 130,000 cycle journeys to schools over a four-week period. This year we’re expecting over 450 schools to take part and hope you and your children will help generate even more cycle trips.
Each daily cycle journey made to school by a child, parent or teacher is awarded a set amount of kilometres, contributing to the school’s virtual journey around the UK. The more cycle trips we make, the quicker our school gets around the UK.
Prizes
For the national winning school the M.A.D. Mountain Bike Display Team will spend a day performing amazing bike handling tricks and skills at the school. Check out the website for more details and information about great regional prizes, too!
