What is Epictour - virtual?
We know you have been training all year long for Epictour. And we know you will be riding on September 13th anyway…so why not do it together?! Whether you are riding in your regular training group in your home region, riding solo up north, or joining one of our Zwift rides on the morning of the event, we will all be riding on September 13th! For the past 7 years we have been riding together on the Sunday after Labour day…let’s not let anything get in our way!
Book off a few hours in your calendar on Sunday September 13th and get your “Epic” ride in!
EDIT: Due to the forecast on Sept 13, all rides on Sept 12 will be considered entries for the prizing as well!
LEADING UP TO SEPTEMBER 13TH
We have lots of amazing prizes to give away to our participants thanks to our partners! There are lots of small challenges, including posting photos or pictures of your routes. We will even have a training ride on September 9th on Zwift so you can meet some more fellow Epictour community members! Do you have an “Epic” story to tell? Write us at info@epictour.ca and be entered to win one of our nutrition packs!
