Cycling
Our Cycling Club started in 2017 and is run by very supportive parents. The club provides an opportunity to introduce students to road cycling and develop their riding and racing skills.
Students race in the College Sport Auckland time trials at Pukekohe during terms 2 and 3, the North Island School Races in Cambridge and the individual Championships in Auckland.
With the club now having been going for four years, there is a mix of novices through to very competitive riders, and new riders are always welcome. The club is very welcoming of new riders and has a very supportive culture, and enjoys fun trips away to the various events outside of Auckland.
