Bicycle NSW and NRMA Motoring & Services are encouraging high school students to be more active and aware of the health benefits of cycling with the launch of the NRMA 500km Gold Medal Challenge.The NRMA 500km Gold Medal challenge is part of the wider NSW Ride2School program which aims to increase the number of students walking and riding to raise physical activity levels and improve health. Secondary school students across the state are being encouraged to register via the website and clock up 500km on their bike. Any ride can count towards the goal, including to school, mountain biking with friends or simply a ride to the local park or shops. Students taking part in the challenge are in the running to win some great prizes including velodrome workshops, a fitness session with Ironman Champion Guy Leech, cycle computers and a number of other cycling goodies. The challenge is also open to teachers with a subscription to Australian Cyclist and a skills workshop for their school up for grabs. To find out more about the challenge and to register for free visit www.bicyclensw.org.au/content/ride2school or call 9218 5405.
