Yesterday was the day of L'Eroica 2014 (my 4th and it does not get any easier). The scenery and atmosphere is unbeatable, truly recommended!
Arrived at the start at 5.30
some prefer to start with a fag ;)
just after sunrise
climbing on the strade bianche, of which there is plenty - the 205k has about 110k of unpaved and 3700m alt
my mates encountered some more old steel along the 135k route
Tuscany is beautiful
this is the stuff, about 110k of it on the long route, most of it not so nice and smooth ;-)
fixing my broken chain
Castelnuovo is the rest stop where unevitably the tiredness starts to hit
The best beer in the world is whatever you can get your hands on after the finish. Probably there again if the registering lottery is kind enough!
