How you might ask does a 10k Mountain Bike ride qualify as an epic ride??? It's an epic ride because "10k"
stands for 10,000 feet of climbing. It was attempted and completed on Saturday, August 24, 1996. There were 19 brave souls
who started and 5 weary but proud riders who finished. Total elevation gain for the ride was 10,180 feet based on an Avocet
altimeter. Mission Accomplished!
