IMBA Announces 2004 Epic Rides
For Immediate Release: August 25, 2004
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 2004 IMBA Epic Rides, adding to the 28 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.
2004 IMBA Epic selections and celebration dates:
- Mid Mountain Trail, Park City, Utah - Sept. 11-12
- Skookum Flats, Enumclaw, Washington - Sept. 24-25
- Buffalo Creek Trails, Pine, Colorado - Oct. 9-10
- Tanasi Trails, Ocoee, Tennessee - Nov. 13-14
The 2004 IMBA Epic Rides program is sponsored once again by Bike Magazine and Santa Cruz Bicycles.
Host clubs are the Mountain Trails Foundation (Utah), Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club (Washington), Team Evergreen (Colorado), and SORBA Chattanooga (Tennessee).
Epic celebrations are free to IMBA members and are limited to the first 100 pre-registered riders. Event registration now open: http://www.imba.com/epics
