This fun and adventurous sport caters for the discipline of Cross-Country Mountain Biking and is open to students in Year 8 to 12. This sport does not cater for Downhill or Mountain Cross.

The emphasis is on skill and fitness development, with the major aim being to have fun and enjoyment whilst riding bikes in Canberra's wonderful environment. Students will train/cycle two afternoons per week and ride on most Saturday mornings in the forests and National Parks around Canberra. There may be some whole day trips or weekend trips. Bicycle maintenance and repair are also covered in this sport.

Students will need access to a quality mountain bike ('department store’ bikes are totally unsuitable). A bike with a front suspension fork is an advantage but is not necessary.
