About This Event

Get ready for three days of pure Northwoods adrenaline at the Annual Epic Bike Fest, in Cable, WI. Based at the scenic Mt. Telemark Village, this premier off-road cycling festival offers a perfect blend of challenging, high-octane racing and a laid-back, community-focused weekend. Hosted by the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (ABSF), a non-profit organization, so all proceeds go to developing trails in the Northwoods. Since 2013, the Epic Bike Fest has raised over $200,000 for mountain bike trails.

Additional Information

The Epic Bike Fest showcases the best of the region's trails, including the brand-new Trek Trails Powered by OTM at Mt. Telemark Village. Whether you're looking to crush technical singletrack on Saturday, tackle scenic gravel roads on Sunday, or do both in the "E2" Challenge, this event is designed for every skill level.

Epic Bike Fest Course Grid

Event	Approximate Distance	Description & What to Expect
