TO prepare for the upcoming Spur School Series of cycling Dinamika High School and Alberton High School had a combined friendly night time training session on May 3.
The training session was organised by Dinamika at Thaba Trails in collaboration with the owner of the Trails.
There were nearly 30 riders from both schools that rode against each other in teams of four or five riders. Seven teams rode in the five hour night race tag team event from 4pm until 9pm.
A special route was set out for this event with each lap being 3.1km in distance. Laps were timed randomly and the fastest lap recorded was by one of the Alberton High team riders at seven minutes and 56 seconds.
During the training session Alberton High placed first and second with Dinamika taking third place.
The number of completed laps recorded in the time period allocated decided the winners. First place completed 33 laps, second place 31 laps and third place 29 laps.
The purpose of this event was for the cyclists to get in as much saddle time and fitness training before the upcoming Spur Series, to encourage interaction between team mates and the Alberton schools, but, most importantly, to have fun on their bikes.
The season for the riders will start on May 18 with the first race taking place at Phoenix High School in Vereeniging. Good luck to all the high schools in Alberton who are competing in the upcoming Spur School Series.
