Mountain Biking

We are thrilled to be entering teams in the Tamworth All-Schools Mountain Bike Event on Saturday, May 13th. This exciting event is a great opportunity for our students to showcase their mountain biking skills and have fun with their peers.

The event will be held at the Tamworth Mountain Bike Park and start with a safety briefing and warm-up session, followed by several races and challenges that will test participants' speed, endurance, and technical abilities. There will also be opportunities for students to practice on the track before the event.

We encourage all Calrossy students to participate in this event, regardless of their level of experience. It is a great opportunity for them to challenge themselves, build confidence, and have fun. By participating, students will also have the chance to make new friends from other schools and showcase their school spirit by wearing their Calrossy uniform.
