A team are getting ready to undertake an epic 24-hour static bike challenge at Northwood HQ to help raise money for Colnbrook School in South Oxhey.

Beginning at 8am this Thursday (29 September), Team Northwood is aiming to simulate the 2,237 mile distance from London to Morocco.

The impressive pedalling challenge is set to finish at 8am the next day (Friday 30 September).

There will be 60 minute slots for each bike over the 24-hour period, with one single bike always being cycled. A total of 360 slots will be available.

The event’s organisers are hoping to raise £5,000, which will go towards equipment for the special primary school located in Hayling Road.

The school for 4 to 11-year-olds supports children with learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorders and speech and language difficulties.
