Kaupapa / Brief: This is an opportunity for kids to participate in a fun sporting competition and demonstrate their cycling ability. Teams accumulate points following each discipline to determine the overall winners in each age group.

This is not a downhill, enduro or cross country bike racing event but students do need to have a bike in good working order and be capable riders.

The competition consists of three disciplines, teams will rotate through events during the course of the day;

- Skills test

- Mountain Bike Team Time Trial

- Grass Track Races

Team information:

Each team must consist of 3 boys and 3 girls. Children can be registered individually and if required I can place into a team. Children are also welcome to discuss with their peers and organise a team. I will support by matching boys and girls groups into a team if required. 

Registration/Entry: Please complete this google form by 3pm Wednesday 18 March. 

Note: There may be limited entries for this event so entries will be prioritised by when the form is completed along with if they have organised a team.
