Every racer and volunteer gets one. We think they look and feel great. Thanks as always to The Brick Shirt House for taking care of business

Emily, at Bikes & Beyond, approached us about sharing this offer with our followers. Although it’s her initiative, not directly organized by Actif Epica Ltd, we love her enthusiasm and are happy to share!…

“Are you a female identifying winter cyclist looking for a challenge?

Local Liv Ambassador Emily wants to see you at the start line for Actif Epica!

With the kind support of Bikes and Beyond, Emily is offering one sponsored entry into the 70 km event, advice on ride day gear and prep, a limited time discount at the shop on last minute gear, and an opportunity to pre-ride course sections with her.

Interested in this opportunity?  Please read through the course guide and then contact Emily at emily@bikesandbeyond.ca.  Include a little bit about yourself, any previous cold weather outdoor adventure experience, and what inspires you about this event.  

Contest closes soon!  Apply by February 1st”

Oof! That stretch looks fairly impassable. We like a challenge but try to balance that against making you all miserable, and some of the thick snow out there is making us look at a few changes, though most of the course looks good and will almost certainly remain the same.

There are likely a few course changes coming soon. Nothing too drastic. Stay tuned; all course changes will be edited in our GPS and cue sheets, and note will be made on the Course Guide page as well.

We’re happy to see that the official river trail along the Assiniboine River starting at the Hugo Docks and continuing to The Forks, down the Red River to Churchill Drive is open! We snapped a few pics of where we get on and off the trail (at Hugo and Churchill).
