Cycling

Cycling is a year round sport that is offered at St Paul’s. Students can opt to ride either as a winter or summer sport option. Training is on Tuesday and Thursday and they ride predominantly in the Horsham Downs / Gordonton area as it offers a range of environments for training. Due to the emphasis on fitness those looking to compete are best advised to ride year round.

During the winter training is focused on developing fitness and experience riding. Racing takes place on Saturdays where riders can compete in club events against a range of experienced riders.
Regional and National School competitions also take place in the winter.
In the summer there is a summer series of racing which takes place late on Thursday afternoon.
