RACE REPORT: EPIC RIDES GRAND JUNCTION OFF-ROAD PHOTO GALLERY AND RESULTS
This past weekend was the Epic Rides Grand Junction Off-Road in Grand Junction, Colorado. Like all Epic Rides events, the racing started off Friday night with the Pro Fat Tire Criterium. The racers battled through downtown Grand Junction to put on a show for the locals. Sunday's 43-mile loop featured just under 6,000 feet of climbing and both the men and women were out on course for over three hours. We often hear from professionals and amateurs that the Epic Ride's races are the most fun events of their summer, and it's easy to see why! We're excited to work with an organization that does so much for our sport.
