MSC & the Colorado Epic

Colorado Epic to bring MTB stage racing to the U.S.A
The organizers of Colorado's Mountain State's Cup (www.racemsc.com) are on track to debut the first epic mountain-bike stage race on U.S. soil. The race is currently pending approval by the United States Forest Service. Called the "Colorado Epic," organizers hope to hold the five-stage race July 21-25 through Colorado's central rocky mountains, in Summit, Eagle and Lake counties.

Organizers hope to open registration by January 2008. For its inaugural year, the year will host 100 two-person teams and 25 individual participants.

"We want to showcase the riding that is important to us in Colorado," said Mike McCormack of Bigfoot Productions. "This race will be an epic backcountry experience."
