Mansfield Outdoor Centre, ON
The Epic 8 attracts an amazing collection of riders... from local characters and weekend warriors to Pro Cycling Royalty. On the left, Barry Cox, and on the far right, Emily Batty and Mark Brusso.
Saturday May 13th 2017 saw the return of an annual mountainbiking tradition. The Spring Epic 8 Hour Relay at Mansfield Outdoor Centre. This event was sold out and saw over 300 teams of 2, 3 and 4 riders, as well as a number of masochistic solo riders, see how many laps they could put in on a 10km course between 10am and 6pm. As #EmpoweredbyGears was one of the marquee sponsors, The Pack was out in force, having a great time and putting the hurt on the competition.
Oggie picks up a bit of bling. Shelly, Darcie and Lenka... all smiles after a great day on the bike.
