IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Please note that photography will take place at the Dirt Girls rides for promotional purposes. The photographs are likely to appear on Dirt Girls, Geelong Mountain Bike Club and Surf Coast Mountain Bike Club social media and websites. It is your responsibility to remove yourself from any group photos, and advise the ride leaders if you do not wish to appear in any published photos.

Riders are required to have a basic level of fitness and competence on a bike, the ability to ride for 1–2 hours at a comfortable, conversational pace.
