Boasting an individual rider, two-day format each Explore event will place mountain bikers within the race village to immerse them in the overall event. Even though there are fewer stages and therefore a less demanding overall race, the memories created will last a lifetime and perhaps inspire participation in a full Epic Series event in the future...
