PUPILS will be putting their cycling skills to the test this weekend in a new inter-schools competition.

Bike Trax 05 is to be held at Summerhill, in Hartlepool, a 100-acre council-run country park off Catcote Road, on Saturday, from 10am to 1.30pm

The competition is aimed at year five pupils, and 15 of Hartlepool's primary schools have each entered a four-strong team.

The competition, a joint initiative between the council's road safety team and staff at Summerhill, aims to promote safety and good cycling practice.

Further information about events and activities taking place at Summerhill is available on (01429) 284584.
