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. Bike Doctor will be at three aid stations, making sure you have the fuel and mechanical support you need to complete your ride.
THE RIDES

Routes will be shared with all participants a month before the event. The courses will be unmarked, and participants are required to download the route to a GPS device if they are riding alone.
No bike computer? No problem! There will also be led ride options for all three routes. We'll be sharing more on the group rides soon.

Registration includes a downloadable route, access to aid stations, 1 meal ticket which you can exchange for a meal of your choice with our guest food truck, and 2 beverage tickets. Proceeds from the event go towards building, maintaining, and advocating for trails in Anne Arundel County.
