About epicTOURS
epicTOURS is new series of documentary films capturing the essence of popular bicycle touring routes and destinations across North America and beyond.
They are for cyclists that are active or interested in bicycling touring and contemplating riding the route of an epicTOUR production or cycling in the general region depicted by that film.
The goal of an epicTOUR film will be to give the cyclist a good idea of the challenge, possibilities and rewards of taking a particular tour route.
epicTOURS will be approximately 60 minutes in length and capture the essence and magic of this amazing national bicycle route, including:
- Sizing up the challenge - We'll show key segments of the entire route, show you the terrain, talk about it's weather and give you riding tips.
- Visiting destinations on the way - You'll see snapshots of select cities, towns and villages and get a sampling of lodging, camping, dining, and shopping options. We'll also highlight key points of interest you may want to checkout.
- Meeting other tourers - We'll tell the stories of cyclists we encounter along the way and let them share their insights and experiences.
