Rider Support Information
The following information is intended to help your event go smoothly. Take it for what it is…tips or a survival guide…either interpretation is our effort to help you make the best of your event experience.
This list will be added too on occasion. Please remember to check back for updates.
Aid Station Fare
Rather standard as far as Aid Stations go… All Aid Stations will be equipped with water. If you would like a sports drink or energy drink of some sort you are welcome to bring your own and mix it in with the water provided. Food; Each aid station will be equipped with Bread Products (bagels, donuts, Fig Newtons, Oreo's, etc..) and Fruits. There will be more than plenty to go around.
Start of Event
Plan to start the event with a full tank of water and plenty of food. These are both items you should bring as Epic Rides emphasizes the provisions we provide for on course and post ride purposes.
Attention: Those wanting drop bags provided at certain aid station locations note that all drop bags need to be delivered to check in no later than 6pm Friday evening.
