Eroica's coming to the UK

[vivelesalpes]

It's something I've known about (but been keeping quiet about for the past 6 months), but the Eroica is coming to the UK in 2014.

It will be based in the White Peak, probably in the summer. I've got my ear to the ground and if I'm officially allowed to say any more (I have a few contacts) I'll keep you all informed.

great, near to me too. Will it be same rules? ... pre 87 bikes, no clipless pedals etc

 

[vivelesalpes]

Yes, It will be.

It's Gian and Marco of Nonnas / La Squadra who are the driving force behind it in conjunction with the Peak District National Park.

Needs a suitably Northern name - Eeh-Roica?

That sounds great.

I'd love to attend L'Eroica in Italy, but as it falls on my wife's birthday....... don't need to say any more really do I.

I think I could manage the period bike and clothing, but I might have to hire a waxed moustache if they are compulsory

On the contrary, you got it made. treat her to a week in tuscany, you get one day off for a bit of bike riding.
