IMBA Announces 2003 Epic Rides

IMBA Epic Rides. The best rides... forever.

Epic rides are why we love mountain biking. They create classic memories and inspire us to save the trails. To fuel this passion, IMBA has selected four outstanding routes as 2003 IMBA Epic Rides, adding to the 24 great rides we've picked since '99. We'll honor each one with a two-day celebration: you're invited!

Epic celebrations are a weekend-long opportunity to bring mountain bikers together to celebrate our sport and great riding. The first day we focus on trailwork, the second on riding and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Participants camp near the trailhead, share meals, riding stories and ideas.

The events are co-hosted by local mountain bike clubs and IMBA.

2003 IMBA Epic Rides selections and celebration dates:

March 15-16, Alafia River Epic, Brandon, Florida
May 3-4, Henry Coe Epic, Morgan Hill, California
June 14 -15, Mansfield Epic, Alliston, Ontario
September 6-7, The Nan Epic, North Conway, New Hampshire
December 20-21 Lebanon Hills Epic, Eagan Minnesota

(ok, I'm kidding about the Lebanon one..hehe)

The 2003 IMBA Epic Rides program is sponsored by Bike Magazine and Santa Cruz Bicycles.

Host clubs are the Southwest Association of Mountain Bike Pedalers (Florida), Responsible Organized Mountain Pedalers (California), Middle Aged Mountain Bikers of Ontario and White Mountains Chapter of the New England Mountain Bicycling Association (New Hampshire).

Epic celebrations are free to IMBA members and are limited to the first 100 pre-registered riders. Get more info and register at http://www.imba.com.
