Key Season Dates & Information
Epsom Girls Grammar students have the opportunity to enter into a number of Mountain Biking events throughout the year. The majority of these take place in Terms 1, 2, and 3.
Due to the logistical difficulty of transporting bikes, it is important that students participating are accompanied by a parent of caregiver.
Please contact swatts@eggs.school.nz if you are interested in entering.
