Cycling
HISTORY: Cycling has been on a ‘downhill’ roll at Parel Vallei since 2009. The team started from humble beginnings where Mrs Hanri Dalton, previous PV teacher took a few learners to ride some trails in the Helderberg. Today, there are 80 learners who take part in provincial cross-country races and, we are also very proud of the fact that a large percentage of riders, race on a national level with outstanding results. Our focus is on Mountain Bike riding as this provides a great balance between fitness and skill. |

ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: We focus on the Spur School League. This consists of four races with a final event in Magaliesburg. The XC format is based on a lap format where sprint fitness and technical skills are required. Parel Vallei also features prominently in the WP XCO series. Other popular events we promote and attend:

IDEALS: We strive to create a love for cycling and fitness among our learners and each year we aim to be selected to represent PV at the National Spur School League. It is a great achievement! |
