Epic Rides cancels June 2021 Carson City Off-Road bike event
Organizers of the Epic Rides, Carson City Off-Road mountain bike event and music festival announced Thursday they are canceling the June 25-27 capital city event due continued COVID-19 pandemic concerns.
In an announcement to their 30,000 eNews database subscribers, here is what Epic Rides said: With concurrence from our host communities, and in the interest of keeping everyone safe, Epic Rides will not produce the following 2021 events:
Whiskey Off-Road, April 23-25, Prescott, AZ
Grand Junction Off-Road, May 14-16, Grand Junction, CO
Carson City Off-Road, June 25-27, Carson City, NV
“We are disappointed that we won’t be able to bring our merry band of mountain bikers together this spring/summer, but we know this is the right thing to do at the moment,” said Epic Rides Series Founder and President Todd Sadow, in a news release. “Each of our events means so much to so many — from fundraising for worthy causes to driving local economies through tourism to providing a platform for character building and personal achievements — we look forward to returning with each of these Epic Rides Series events in 2022.”
The three events were also canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 2020 would have hosted the 17th annual Whiskey Off-Road, 8th annual Grand Junction Off-Road, and 5th annual Carson City Off-Road.
