Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to ride mountain or other off road bicycles as part of a group on intermediate trails and according to planned routes.
This unit provides the skills to cycle off road on intermediate trails defined as those that are likely to be a single trail with moderate gradients, variable surface and obstacles. Sections of the trail will have rocky or loose tread with obstacles such as logs, roots and rocks. Climbs and descents are mostly of moderate gradient but may include steep sections.
It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during cycling activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.
This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.
When on road, cyclists must comply with the legislated road rules for the particular Australian state or territory, and with special road rules that apply to cyclists. All training and assessment activities must comply with the local state or territory requirements.
No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
