Cycling in New Zealand

We run two cycling programmes in New Zealand; one during their summer, September to March, and one during their winter, March to September.  We also run an 8 week programme to Auckland during July and August, ideal for university students or those not taking a gap year.

In Auckland, we have handpicked the best cycling clubs who have excellent coaching, facilities and social scenes.  The clubs have lots of members and can accommodate cyclists of all abilities from social riders to state and international cyclists. 

Clubs participant in various events throughout the year including training rides, individual and team trial events, hill climbs and road racing.  Clubs usually train 2-3 times a week and compete in races at the weekends, usually on Saturdays. 

You will live in 4 star city centre apartments with other Sport Lived participants.  Most people stay in 2 bedroom apartments and everyone lives in the same complex providing you with a ready made group of friends as soon as you arrive.  Living in the city means you’ll be near nightlife, places where you can work and public transport, making it easy to get to your club.
