Welcome to the 2022 Victorian Interschools Cycling Series Summer rounds. This year the events are run with the support of Auscycling Victoria by Blackburn, Carnegie and Hawthorn Cycling Clubs. The series have been run for a number years very successfully. Each event run will be the responsibility of the promoting club.
Each club has its own covid plans although it is recomended for schools with groups of cyclists to have their own covid marshal.
This event/VICS is held in the public domain. Photographs and videos will record elements of this event. Registration to participate in this event is provided with an understanding that members of the public, the organising clubs and other organisations are likely to publish images of this event through various different media channels.
