About this race

Event Overview The Bike Hub is proud to announce our Sunday Epic ride series! These are all-day rides featuring some of the best mixed-terrain riding the tri-state area has to offer. Forgotten woods roads, fast gravel, rugged singletrack, and even a bit of hike-a-bike. These rides will be long, difficult, and absolutely beautiful. While there is no perfect bike for a Sunday Epic, anything with around a 2 inch tire will work. More details on terrain will be included in each event post. Sunday Epic's will be held the third Sunday of every month from April-September. Start location may vary, but will usually end will some sort of food and drink situation. Wheels down at 8am always. Upcoming Ride Details This one is gonna be extra tough. Bring a mountain bike of some sort, curly bars may not get you far. My goal here was to put together a ride with the toughest possible terrain and most amount of climbing in the least mileage. Enter the Grass Mtn Sufferfest. If you've never visited this area you are in for a treat. Starts and ends at the Shaftsbury Historical Society on 7A, park by the red barn. Important Notes Self-Supported: Sunday Epic's are fully self supported. Bring everything you need to successfully finish the route. We expect you to carry basics like spare tube, pump, multi-tool, patch kit, food and water, etc. Although we occasionally stop at a convenience store, there are many times where the ride is too remote for that to be an option. Group Dynamics: We generally try to ride together, but you are welcome to do your own thing as long as you have the route. Group pac
