Those of us at the Cranky Monkey MTB races already know about this, but I thought I'd post up anyway about the MoCo Epic Ride on Sunday, October 17.

Here's info from the MORE Forums...

----------------------------
The MoCo Epic is a supported mountain bike ride (not a race) going through many of the major parks in Montgomery County. You will get a cue sheet, a GPS track if you have a GPS, spray painted signs will be on parts of the course, and volunteers will direct riders at critical intersections. Time records will be kept only for the purpose of accounting for everybody. Depending on the mileage, there will be up to 4 fully stocked aid stations.

Date: October 17, 2010
Rain Date: October 24, 2010

3 supported rides will be offered:

25-mile, 3 parks: Start from Schaeffer, Schaeffer white trail, Hoyles Mill Connector, Black Hills and return to Schaeffer

40-mile, 7 parks: start at Schaeffer Farms, Hoyles Mill, Black Hills, Little Bennett, Lower Magruder, Seneca Greenway, around Clopper Lake and back to Schaeffer via Riffleford or the new bike section of the Seneca Greenway if it is open by then.

62-mile (metric century), 9 parks: same as above, but do Muddy Branch and the C&O Canal after Seneca Lake.

You can't yet register but that should be up very shortly. Permit is being processed and preliminary approval should come early June.
A web site has been set, although it is still in the works (and doesn't work well in IE. Use Firefox): http://mocoepic.com
Questions, comments? Who's in?

PS: Too many miles for you? Volunteer, we'll need you.
---------------------------

Sounds like fun! I'm planning to attempt the 62-miler. Hopefully we can get a group of PPCC MTBers together for it.
