13th June 2017 what a day! 250 pupils from 10 Midlothian Primary schools took part in the Midlothian Bike Festival 2017 at Beeslack High School. Well done to all pupils at the event you really impressed with your skills. Congratulation’s to Mauricewood Primary School who were the overall team winners. The results can be found here – Mid Bike Fest 2017 RESULTS
Sean Fallon (Midlothian Council Outdoor Learning Teacher) the event organiser commented that “Midlothian have some seriously talented and resilient P6 and P7 cyclists” after watching some impressive action on the skills and cross country competition courses.
The event was organised by the Midlothian Outdoor Learning Service and supported by a host of partners including Ikea, Tesco, Alpine Bikes, Endura and others. We are confident that pupils and staff will enjoy cycling more as a result and encourage others to get out and pedal too.
Jonathan Stranberg from Ikea, one of our sponsors “was impressed with the set up” and remarked that “all the pupils were having a great time”. This is testament to all the hard work and effort of all the volunteers and staff from a wide range of organisations supporting the event. We would like to say a HUGE thanks from the Midlothian Outdoor Learning Service to everyone who helped.
