Event Guide
The “24 Hours in the Old Pueblo” is a team relay and solo rider mountain bike event.

- In the event that two or more riders are vying for position, the lead rider does not necessarily have to yield to the challenging rider, however, any attempt to interfere with or impede a challenging rider is considered unsportsmanlike and is not permitted.

About 24 HOUR TOWN: Your home away from home…
24 Hour Town Rules
This “master planned community” boasts direct access to over 20 miles of single track and endless amounts of double track and jeep trails. Those residing in 24 Hour Town will enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the Tortolita, Catalina, and Galiuro Mountain Ranges.
Per the Arizona State Land Department’s rules for access, Epic Rides needs all people attending the event to camp within 24 Hour Town‘s designated camping area. Please do not camp in areas marked with “no camping beyond this point”. Please comply with Epic Rides staff and signage in order to make sure everyone fits in the area provided, as well as to assure we don’t cause unnecessary impact to Willow Springs Ranch lands. If you are not sure whether where you are camping is appropriate, please find an Epic Rides representative to verify.
If you choose to camp in non-camping areas, you and your team will be disqualified and asked to leave town immediately. This is a zero-tolerance request, as those who break the rules put the existence of the entire event in jeopardy.
Please utilize only the space necessary for you and your team, and be prepared to modify your footprint accordingly if it’s going to help a neighbor get situated a little easier. If you’re going to bring an RV, please make sure you get optimal utility out of it – one RV per team. Not per person. Follow?
Campsites are first-come, first-served. Please refrain from taping off camping spaces. Additionally, all fires must be above ground (no fire pits!), limited to a 3′ diameter circle, and away from generators. Epic Rides suggests utilizing an oil pan, chimenea or barbecue grill to stoke your campsite at this year’s event. A dumpster for your coal is available on Epic Rides Expressway for your convenience.
Your cooperation is extremely appreciated (and 100% necessary). A final note on this topic: keep in mind, personnel from Arizona State Land and Pinal County will be on site, supervising. Don’t be “that guy” with the over-sized fire pit located next to your generator and an RV per person on the team. That’s inconsiderate.

*Why do over-sized RVs/Vehicles have to bring more cans than everyone else? This is Epic Rides’ way of encouraging smaller vehicles and carpooling, thereby respecting the environment by reducing crowding and keeping the 24-Hour Town footprint to a minimum.
Friendly Reminder – Attendees that choose to drop off an RV or trailer are required to accept any & all liability associated with leaving their belongings unattended. Arizona State Land Recreational Permits do not give access to camping in 24-Hour Town while the special event permit is in effect during the month of February.

Step 1: Determine how much you want to ride and how competitive you want to be. Pro tip: See past results to research lap times and total laps ridden by the various team sizes.
Step 2: Make a list of your riding buddies; we recommend a balance of fast and slow riding buddies as the faster ones tend to be lightweights when “hanging around the campfire”… If your team roster is incomplete for the moment, skip to Step 5.
![24hop-2015-day-2-631](https://epicrides.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/24HOP-2015-Day-2-631.jpg)
Step 3: Determine which ones are most likely to muster the goods at 3 a.m., and which ones are most likely to be passed out (for whatever reason)…then think if you want to be passed out or hammering laps at 4 a.m. Tiny bubbles…
Now to invite the appropriate group to be on your team…the next step is critical.
Step 4: Email your chosen riding buddies, tell them you have a very important personal matter to discuss and they need to be at your casa one evening this week (video chat is an acceptable substitute if geography plays a role). They should bring their Venmo account and a kind six-pack (emphasize beverage selection, remember, it’s a very important personal matter).
Here’s the thinking behind this move, you’re the one that’s mobilizing the crew. Your noble existence has volunteered you to become the “Team Captain”. In exchange, it’s fair that your teammates each donate at least 3 of their beverages to you as payment. The positive correlation is, a bigger team = more work from the Team Captain, and…of course, more payoff from teammates as a token of appreciation. Follow?
Note: If you have too many riding buddies to narrow the selection down to one team, Epic Rides encourages your spirit of competition. Form two teams and battle it out to determine who prefers campfires over 3 a.m. dark-thirty cold laps.
Step 5: Visit epicrides.com to “Pre-register” in order to be notified the moment registration opens.
To Register you’ll need:
– Each teammate’s complete name (incl. nickname if they have one)
– Date of birth
– Email address
The rest is automated and the responsibility of each teammate to complete. If some or all of the team is unknown then it’s okay to enter Rider Two, Rider Three, etc. with the captain’s DOB and “[email protected]” as the email address. When the team captain is ready to finalize the roster, they may do so by logging into their account after registration closes. Note: any changes to the name fields triggers the rider swap protocol –and the rider swap fee (see Team Modifications / Rider Swaps).

Step 6: Once registration is complete the Team Captain will immediately receive a confirmation e.mail from Epic Rides. You’re in! It is the Team Captain’s responsibility to forward the confirmation email to the rest of the team. This is a crucial step; the confirmation email contains important information regarding the event.
Note: Waiver reminders are sent out bi-weekly until completed, please recommend that waivers are completed as soon as possible. Don’t slack, late fees will apply when applicable. I’d like a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich please, charge it to the Underhill’s.
