E2P Multisport Training Camp & Retreat

[AACo Epic PNG.png]

Anne Arundel County, Maryland is home to fun and challenging mountain bike trails in the Bacon Ridge Natural Area and Annapolis Waterworks Park. This year, MORE is breaking ground on trails in the Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park. The new 7 miles of trail in CHMP will provide not only additional options for trail users but also get us closer to having a unified trail system in the county. Annapolis was also recently designated as a Trail Town by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, in recognition of its commitments to developing and stewarding trail systems that strengthen community life.

What better way to celebrate these milestones than with an inaugural AACo Epic!

Experience the trails in Bacon Ridge, Annapolis Waterworks, and Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park through an epic ride! Choose from 20-, 30-, and 40-mile options that offer a fun challenge to riders of all skill levels.

We are grateful to have local bike shops supporting the event. Family Bike Shop will be at the start, providing mechanical support and snacks to take on the trail. Bike Doctor will be at three aid stations, making sure you have the fuel and mechanical support you need to complete your ride. Annapolis Velo will be leading a 20-mile group ride.
