The participants in the fundraiser were members of the Bishops Diocesan College first, second and third rugby teams, as well as staff and pupils. The excited teams were captained by ex-Bishops rugby internationals, including Oli Kebble (2010S), Christian Stewart (1983W), Rob Fleck (1993O), Stuart Abbott (1995S), Nick Koster (2007F), JJ Gagiano (2003F), Mike Fox, Dasch Barber (2006M) and Francois Louw (2003W), who offered encouragement and support to the boys as they pedalled away.
