|   Epic Ride for next year? | Cronometro
Sep 27, 2002 3:04 PM | | This may be premature but is there any interest in an epic ride for 29"er's and friends? Looking for next late spring/early summer. Maybe something in the central states. A rip off of the IMBA epic concept. Let me know if there is interest and when and where. If there is enough interest I might organize one. Let me know. |

Or we could all enter one of the races, I would love to enter the main event, if they'd let me.
So what are your thoughts, about that Epic? I don't know IMBA. |

Sep 27, 2002 4:30 PM | | OK, I am looking to see if there is interest and what 29"ers would like in a event like this. I am not trying to cram IMBA or any other thing down anyone's throat. I am thinking of a laid back event maybe tent camping at the ride site (like IMBA). Some informal swapping of parts etc. Some home brew, if I can find time to brew some. Some good stories and good riding. If you don't like the Idea of helping build/fix a trail it's cool. Let me know what you would like to see and when, where etc. If there is interest and it looks doable I will try to get something going. Thank you for your time. |
