How exciting that Stage 7 of this year’s Men’s Tour of Britain Cycle Race will be taking place in Gloucestershire on Saturday, 9^th September!   It is scheduled to travel directly past our school.  Even though it takes place at the weekend, we are still celebrating this event by creating bunting in school this week to decorate the railings for the cyclists as they pass through. 

If you want to watch the race live, the action starts in Tewkesbury at 11am and finishes in Gloucester Docks at approximately 3:15pm with the route going through both the Cotswold and Stroud Districts.  For details of the route and timings, please follow the link below.  The cyclists are due to come through Andoversford at approximately 12:07pm.  Get out there and cheer the riders on! 

From 12pm, there will be an exciting finish event in Gloucester Docks including a BMX display, Stunt cyclists, Smoothie bikes, Cycle Scalextric, balance bikes, mini racing bikes, a circus bike workshop, a watt bike challenge, live music and more.

Plenty to see and do….literally on our doorstep!
