more people on bikes
As team members we are connected by a lot, but common in every case is a deep love and passion for this sport. WE SIMPLY LOVE TO RIDE.
​
When we count up how many Saturday mornings we think we might have from now ‘til we kick it, we try to figure out how to make as many of those as possible filled with velo adventure, personal breakthroughs and amazing friends-and-family riders.
​
We've tried lots of stuff, and this is just better. We're better. Life is better.
​
And wouldn't the world be an entirely different place if every able-bodied person on the planet just rode a bike 20 miles a day?
-
Everyone would have that post-ride glow, right?
-
No fighting. Global mental health gains overnight. World Peace.

'MORE PEOPLE ON BIKES'
​
That’s EPIC's simple and clear mission. With all the velo happiness, health, wellness, social, community and economic benefits that cascade from doing that safely, with great support from an experienced team.
​
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 and clubs, event producers and anyone else who cares about, and is working either directly or indirectly on these same objectives.
​
BREAKTHROUGHS
​
We’re also not big fans of the status quo.
​
And breakthroughs require "break-withs" from the past. 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 guilt and shame and pressure. Nobody cares.
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 EPIC team members value most though is PRs. This year. Doing YOUR personal best, NOW. Safely pushing limits. Seeing riders get their individual breakthroughs, no matter what level they're at.
-
Mileage and distances creeping up
-
Gains in average speeds
-
Consistently improving in-year PRs
-
Thundering up mountain climbs that used to crush you.
-
Routinely doing things with your fitness, in YOUR circumstance, that you never thought possible.
It's like kaizen, the Japanese word for continuous improvement, but with some oomph.
Kaizen con queso :)
