Alpine Epic Mountain Bike Stage Race - New Zealand 2010 Spread the word      Updates      News & Media
New Zealand's XC stage race, Mt Somers to Tekapo, 24th - 27th February 2010
Today: Sunday 8 November, 2009   |   New sponsors, discounted massages and training advice
Hello
Entry update and November musings

It's been a while since our last update, but various things have been happening in the Southern Alps and the 2010 Alpine Epic is rapidly taking shape. Entries are coming in steadily, it took us three months longer to get to the same number of entrants last year.

A reminder that from the 1st of December there is a late fee charged, so if you get in quickly you'll avoid this...

Exciting new sponsors...

We are excited to announce that we have a couple of new sponsors, which will considerably enhance your enjoyment of the Alpine Epic.

Firstly, Mulebar...www.mulebar.co.nz. Tasty, hard hitting, natural energy food. It's grunty and the stable of bars are far superior in taste to most of the sawdust floating around the energy bar market. 

Secondly, Green Oil, www.greenoil.co.nz. Clean your bike, lube up and feel a warm green glow of environmental responsibility wash over you. It is awesome stuff, and keeps the chain and conscience free from grit and lost wattage.

Discount at Good Massage!

Jason and the team at Good Massage in Christchurch will be coming along to provide massage services, which is awesome. They are massively experienced, and are offering a deal for entrants in the lead-up to the 2010 Alpine Epic. Get an hour massage for only $50! Normally $75. To book... jason@goodmassage.co.nz or reception on 03 365 5665. 

Training direction...

We currently have an international flavour to the event, as well as some strong local riders returning and coming along for the first time. If you need some structure to your training it would be worth contacting Richard at www.completeperformance.co.nz  for advice. Whether you are out there to set the field alight from the gun, or more interested in gazing up the Godley to the icefields of Mt Sibbald and Mt D’Archiac as you ride through the vastness of the Mackenzie Basin with your mate, his team will get you feeling good about things.

Thanks to the teams who have entered so far, we hope the training is going well. If you're in the Nelson region and fancy a ride drop me an email.

Still a major sponsorship opportunity...

We're looking for a king pin sponsor, and have a pretty cool opportunity for the right company. Contact us for more information.
