Looking forward to this one!
Website launched on 30th May 2008 - www.alpsepic.com.au
Great location and great organising team (Maximum Adventure & Geocentric Outdoors) - it should be a real epic!
Epic
Bring this on! I haven't done any multi-day events but this sounds like a corker to start that trend on. If they throw a run down the Cannonball in as part of it all the better!
looks very cool! :)
I am tempted
*really* interested
Well it's a big one to do, but I'm keen.
It would depend on getting a support crew together, decide whether to do solo (or a team of 4, that would be more fun).
Always wanted to do a stage race like the wildside or the central australian challenge, but they've been too far for logistics.
FYI:
Categories
Individual
Open Male, Open Female, Male Master 40-49, Female Master 40-49, Male Super Master 50+, Female Super Master 50+
This is the general category for most riders, from social "sightseeing" riders through to some of the best riders in the world!
Relay Pair
Male, Female, Mixed.
Aimed at riders who may not choose to, or be able to, complete all the stages. Find a friend and one can support while the other rides! Also great for couples who may be bringing their family along - one rides, the other on family duty. No sheepstations are up for grabs in this category and likewise there are no age group differentiations.
Team of 4
No gender or age differentiation - just a team of 4!
Four individual riders who group themselves under a team name. Elite teams, corporate group or a social friends, this category is a great way to share the race with others. The top 3 individual times within the team count for each stage.
hey guys just wondering if
hey guys just wondering if this race or the bmc one is to hard for me to complete ??
im really quite interested
Epic looks easier
The Epic looks easier than the Mtns to Sea thing on around the same time, so if I get to do one, looks like it'll be the epic.
