DAMASCUS College is gearing up for future cycling glory.
In 2005, a team from the school took out the World Solar Cycle challenge, as it was then known, beating international and university competitors.
And college students are confident they can do it all again at the re-named World Future Cycle Challenge in South Australia in October and November.
Two Damascus teams will race in the seven-day event, which begins in the Eyre Peninsula town of Ceduna and continues 1200kms to Adelaide.
Team media officers Cynthia Leehane and Clancy Purdie said about 80 students were involved in preparations for the event.
Each has been assigned to task groups - Cynthia, for example, doubles as a team accountant, while Clancy is a rider - and 20 will travel to South Australia, accompanied by six adult volunteers.
Cynthia said the team believed it had improved on the 2005 design, pictured in the photo.
"We did wind tunnel testing at RMIT and found that there were slight aerodynamic imperfections in our old shape," Cynthia said.
Team rider manager Tony Davidson said the schools' participants grew enormously through their involvement in the race.
