What's the new 'epic'?

[Irulan]

I hadn't heard this term used to describe rides when I was a frequent road rider. Now that I have at least one friend who does, lets call them "significant" mountain bike rides (as contrasted with the easy ones I do!), I have heard the term "epic" used, and hearing about a few of the rides he so described, I agree!

So yeah, I think it's more of a mtb lingo thing.

I don't know that it's possible to have an "epic" on a road bike. Anytime you can call someone to come and get you, that is an automatic disqualifier.
