MAKING LIFE MORE EPIC
We love to ride.
​
And wouldn't the world would be an entirely different place if every able-bodied person on the planet just rode a bike 20-30 miles a day?
-
Everyone would have that post-ride glow, right?
-
No fighting...World Peace...Etc.
​
We won’t get all, so we’ll settle for more.
​
MORE PEOPLE ON BIKES
​
That’s the simple mission, but with all the velo happiness, health, wellness, social, community and economic benefits that cascade from doing that safely, and with great support from an awesome group.
​
We are genuinely passionate about riding and contributing to a thriving cycling community—building value for those who ride, and collaborating with sponsors, other teams, event producers and anyone else who cares about, and is working on that also.
​
BREAKTHROUGHS
​
We’re not big fans of the status quo.
​
We don’t care where you are, and even less about where you’ve been. Especially if it was so good that it's stifling and smothering your riding THIS season. Forget all that.
​
What we do care about and know, is that life changes for the better when you go out and ride. Especially if it includes punching a big hole in your comfort zone every Saturday--"con queso" as we affectionately call it.
​
We have team members that race, push and podium. It's awesome. Others who are building a great big stash of QOMs/KOMs. The rest of us are in awe, and inspired.
​
What the Epic team values most though is PRs. Personal bests. Pushing limits. Seeing riders get their individual breakthroughs, no matter what level they're at.
