What an Epic ride! Not for the faint of heart by any means as it's a gruelling uphill with lots of grinding. But to roll through Willard Basin and up to Ben Lomond then descend to the divide and on from there is truly incredible. Rolling through Avon before the climb to Willard is also quite incredible and worth the journey alone. This year was quite the engagement with the rain at the front end, but made one hell of an adventure out of the race. Highly recommend.
The first time I heard about the Eden Epic, I instantly thought that it was ridiculous and that I could never do it. After some gentle prodding from my wife, I knew it was something I could do if I put my mind to it. I trained hard and climbed as much as I could throughout the summer to make sure my legs could handle the course. I finished strong and well ahead of where I thought I would. It was the most rewarding race I have ever done and I look forward to doing it again this year in 2019.
Great experience and lives up to its name. Great trails and beautiful scenery for a very challenging fun race. Can't wait till next year
I like to do quite a few endurance events every year, but this one has quickly become my favorite. It's not a big event in terms of the number of riders, but Josh and his team run it at a world-class level. The course is tough, the views are second to none, and the aid stations are well-stocked. I can't wait until registration opens up for next year's event.
I've participated in the Eden Epic twice, and it's fantastic. You won't find better views during any other race. Mile for mile, it ranks up there as one of the toughest races in Northern Utah. Can you say chunk? The race organizer and volunteers are top notch. Thanks for putting on a great event!
