Pocklington School’s sports hall with the mattresses for the riders.
AN INDEPENDENT school in the East Riding has recently played host to 1,500 hundred riders from 58 different countries as they took part in a gruelling cycle challenge.
The London Edinburgh London event takes place every four years, and this is the second time the riders have used Pocklington School as a stop off point, as they rode from London to Edinburgh and back in under five days. The sports hall was used as a huge dormitory containing 350 mattresses and blankets, where the riders booked a time slot to rest. Food was available in the dining hall.
