Need to know who is interested in going? …plan to cycle to Viareggio,Lucca, Pisa, Montecatini Terme, Pistoiese mountains and southern chianti region..i would need 8 people to make this happen.

What is L’Eroica.

This end of season event has a unique atmosphere thanks to the sections of Tuscan dirt roads and because most of the riders use vintage bikes and wear old style wool clothing..check out the pictures

The route winds through stunning Tuscan countryside near Siena and the sections on the white roads or farm tracks takes you back to what it must have been like racing in the 40’s and 50’s. Going Vintage is a great way to saviour the camaraderie of cycling

The charm of this event remains unchanged and every year it sees the participation of numerous people from all over the world.

Last year 2,400 riders took part with over 70 from the UK. What matters for L ‘Eroica is the love for cycling and the rediscovery of roads that haven’t been violated by time and asphalt…to see the pictures of the event which i attended last year via Gusto Cycling facebook..
