Eroica Chilterni
Couldn't make l'Eroica in Tuscany this year so our cycling group staged our own version around the Chilterns in Herts and Bucks.
Fifty miles (ish) of country lanes, bridleways and trails was a real blast on retro steeds with skinny tyres. Whistling down the Ridgeway Path into Wendover was a real highlight. Not so much 'white' roads though as decidedly 'brown'. Thank the stars it had been dry all week beforehand. With a few pubs thrown in and a small, enthusiastic crew taking part it was one of the best day's riding I'd had for quite a while.
Definitely going to run it again next year - maybe a couple of weeks before the Italian pilgrimage as a sort of reliability ride.
Here's the route: https://connect.garmin.com/course/10807238
