Cycling
Ride, Race, and Represent Your School
Join SSV and AusCycling for inclusive schools-based cycling competitions. Whether your students are beginners or experienced riders, these events focus on staying active, having fun, and building school spirit.
SSV has partnered with AusCycling to provide fun and inclusive cycling opportunities for all students. These programs emphasize participation and keeping active while representing a school. Students do not need to be part of a formal club or school team to enter; SSV welcomes both individual and school-based entries.

- Build Connections: Students can ride with friends and meet peers from other schools.
