Pedal Prix 2022
Pedal Prix 2022 racing season came to an end last weekend with the pinnacle event - the 24 hour endurance race. Our two teams did amazingly well with lower numbers of riders than usual. Clipper had 9 riders and Lil Ripper had 8 and every rider put in everything they had to keep the two bikes going for 24 hours.
Final results were: Clipper (Junior bike) finished 101 out of 133 bikes with 375 laps, and Lil Ripper (Senior bike) finished 83 with 418 laps. Well done riders!
A big thank you needs to go to all parents who came to support the teams. In particular Gwen Malaxos did an incredible job with overall organisation. Kevin Malaxos with support from Aaron Nitschke (old scholar) and Chris Bodel for the 24 Hr event, was our head mechanic. Coordinating marshals is a significant role and Kellie Hitchenor was amazing at organising this team of parents. Thank you to all parents who acted as marshals and helped with food preparation and cooking both before and during the event. As the Pedal Prix is a three event season, Gwen, Kevin and Kellie have been working hard all year to make each of these events happen and we have been so grateful for their commitment.
Thank you to our sponsors Kanga Coachlines, Kennards, Move Yourself trailers, Down to Earth Electrical, Fabulous Baker Boys and Chilly Billy. They have been very generous!
