At St Stithians, Mountain Biking has become a popular sporting choice for many of the boys. We are privileged to have one of the best single trail tracks on our campus, which runs for 7 km around the school boundary.

It includes a variety of challenges with the possibility for the novice and the advanced riders to test their abilities. We are also able to drop into the Braamfontein Spruit for some variety in the riding, offering some more endurance options.

More than that, though, the Cycling Boys operate as a supportive, cohesive unit where the more skilful riders mentor those who need to grow a bit. We compete in the Schools League and the boys are also afforded the opportunity to challenge themselves in a variety of other cycling disciplines that are of their own choice. For a sport that lasts a lifetime, Mountain Biking is a wonderful choice.

Mountain biking isn’t like any other sport. We compete in competitions all over Gauteng and meet new people, riding the most scenic routes with teammates. During my first week as captain, we managed to get 8 new riders joining, with some joining from the Prep, quite an accomplishment.

The training programme is created by our coach Andrew Hill, who helps enhance each of our skills so that we individually reach our full potential. The practices challenge you but are also full of joy and create bonds with teammates from different grades.

The brotherhood that is formed by the sport is one that will stay with you right up until you’re in matric. I encourage all students to try the sport. You do not require the best or most expensive equipment, because at the end of the day it’s about you, the rider and not the bike.

Our team believes everyone has the potential to be the best athlete and joining Mountain Biking will help you achieve that.
