Epic early Carson City signup for Epic Rides summer mountain bike competition
Organizers of this summer's Epic Rides Off-Road Series had an epic early registration signup on Wednesday at Firkin and Fox, with 74 mountain bike enthusiasts sipping beer and then signing up for this summer's Carson City inaugural competition event.
The Carson City Off-Road on June 17-19 will start and finish downtown. It will offer three course options — 15, 35 and 45 miles. The 35- and 45-mile routes will include sections of the famous Tahoe Rim Trail and offer participants expansive views of Lake Tahoe.
Since the inaugural Whiskey Off-Road was held in Prescott in 2004, the Off-Road Series has grown into a three-day outdoor experience held in communities with a passion for healthy living and outdoor recreation.
“Part of what has made the Whiskey Off-Road and the Grand Junction Off-Road premier mountain bike events is the enthusiasm, energy and pride of each communities residents,” said Todd Sadow, Epic Rides president. “And the excitement generated by locals with the debut of the Carson City Off-Road next June promises to make it an equally big success.”
Organizers are seeking volunteers for the event. People can go to epicrides.com, select the Carson City Off-Road event then hit the "volunteer" tab on the right menu. Online registration is also on the website.
