Twenty-six Woodbridge School pupils, teachers, parents and alumni pedalled 93 miles from London to Woodbridge in aid of charity.

The annual cycle ride, now in its 20th year, took place on Saturday, June 24 with the target of raising £10,000 for The Bridge School in London, which supports young people with severe learning disabilities.

The riders – including seven Woodbridge School pupils with George Cory in Year 13 only the fourth pupil ever to make the trip for a fourth time while still at school – clocked up 2,500 miles between them.

Michael Streat, cyclist and event organiser, said: “The London to Woodbridge cycle ride was a magnificent display of teamwork, with glorious sunshine and a shared sense of utter satisfaction when we each rounded the last corner to reach the Market Hill. Congratulations to all the amazing riders, as well as the heroic support team and local communities for their hospitality and encouragement on route.

“Also thank you to all who have donated so far to The Bridge School. We have established a brilliant friendship with The Bridge over the years and we enjoy doing all we can to raise money and awareness, so that the school can continue to support pupils’ individual needs. We look forward to the 21st annual cycle ride next year and encourage all who feel inspired to donate to the team or sign up to join us!”

The London to Woodbridge cycle ride was first organised by Woodbridge School in 1998 and has since seen nearly 300 riders pedal the distance, many multiple times, with over £200,000 raised for The Bridge School.

Funds raised will go towards specialist teaching at the school as well as sensory equipment, playground facilities, technical lighting and other resources that would be unavailable without charitable donations.

To help the Woodbridge School team reach their £10,000 target, donate now at justgiving.
