previous years.
Those who finish all three stages of the Epic will earn their free "I
finished the Epic" T-shirt.
One more thing to get you psyched up:
------
?Epic?
Why sign up for this ride of attrition?
Camaraderie, effort, not competition
60 plus miles of sweet single track!
Gnarly sections, be careful don?t stack
The sun glistening on snow through the trees
Pace yourself carefully, it?s not a breeze
High alpine meadows swift flowing streams
Finish this ride, it?ll give you sweet dreams
Your mind gets euphoric after miles of trail
Tunnel vision comes, you're riding a rail
Challenge yourself and settle the score
Heighten your senses like never before
When you get to the park the end is near
Just three more miles to burritos and beer
Train for endurance and get ready to ride
Doing the Epic fills your soul with great pride
