It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

If I use the word "epic" I'm usually trying to make the result of a string of bad decisions sound kind of cool and adventurous.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Did anyone notice on the cover of the latest Bicycling magazine it talks about 7 epic rides?

oh my, I just had this conversation with someone last week. I have friends that talk about their epic ride from Mt Rose all the way to the Carson Valley. None of the qualifiers (ie puking, mechanical, etc) occurred. That one is more like one long down hill rolly polly ride.
I +1 on kicka$$ because I have never used the term 'epic' for my own, only kicka$$. Funny, the only ppl I have heard use it (in person not on the internet or print media) are guys.
And how injured must you be? My friends happened upon a woman that broke her ankle last year and had to be helicoptered out. The helicopter had to land on two giant boulders and my friends had to sit on the landing thingies so it wouldn't fall over. I guess that would be epic for her but not for them
