Sunday 24 September 2023 Good Going Gabe! On 24th September Gabe Paling from year 8 took on the 40th anniversary Weston Beach Race. Unfortunately, on the 1st lap, he got trapped under his bike for a few minutes and sustained some injuries. However, being a real trouper, he carried on. 1 hour 7 minutes in, his bike broke so it was game over. We are very proud of him for attempting the race as it’s no mean feat but on this occasion the beach won. Fingers crossed next year will be a different story.
