125 hours on the road to mark anniversary

As part of the school’s 125th birthday celebrations, St Andrew’s Prep will be holding a 125 hour cycle event in the form of a relay race.

Five staff members and 20 pupils will cycle an accumulated time of 125 hours on mountain bikes, riding on gravel roads.

As part of the school’s 125th birthday celebrations, St Andrew’s Prep will be holding a 125 hour cycle event in the form of a relay race.

Five staff members and 20 pupils will cycle an accumulated time of 125 hours on mountain bikes, riding on gravel roads.

The event is held on dirt roads to ensure the safety of the riders by eliminating the need to cycle on any national roads.
“It would also add a local flavour to the ride as most of the journey would be through farming country – highlighting the historical link here,” said Cherie Willie, marketing and communications officer at St Andrew’s.

At any given time there will be a minimum of five pupils and two staff members cycling – the idea is
to work in relay units of 10km or units of time.

An accumulated time will be allocated to each shift, so five pupils and two staff members cycling for one hour would equate to seven hours of cycling.

The staff have set a target of 25 hours/day – a variable due to strength of riders/number of riders/distance needing to be covered.

The cyclists will leave from the St Andrew’s Prep Top Field at 6am tomorrow morning and they are scheduled to return on Sunday morning.The first day will see the group cycle to Kap Reserve, then on Thursday it’s off to Broadlands, then Highlands on Friday, Table Farm on Saturday, returning to
Prep on Sunday.
