Everyone at Strathdon School says Good Luck!

How is the cycling going? Are you tired? How did Jock escape from the aliens? How is Snuffles? We’ve been checking your speed and location every 15 minutes since you started cycling. As we are writing this in class we are watching where you are. Who has been in the front the most?

Do you like our photo?

Hope you have all had a good day.

Strathdon School had a stall at the games and used the opportunity to do a bit more advertising and fundraising. People were very generous and £834.40 was raised. No pressure was used.

Match the Miles

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Took place Sunday 7th June at Alford Transport Museum – 109 cyclists helped to achieve the target of 1066 miles!  The event got off to a rousing start as two pipers led the cyclists around the track for the first lap. People of all ages joined in throughout the day and helped make it a great sucess.

Thank you to Sheridans the butcher for their delicious barbecue, Costco for the water, Deans of Huntly for raffle prizes and Tescos for vouchers. 

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped on the day.

Lined up ready to start.
