IMBA Announces 2003 Epic Rides
IMBA Epic Rides. The best rides... forever.
For Immediate Release, February 11, 2003Epic 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.
