L'Eroica 2011

Finally booked my flights, Flying from Prestwick on 28th September and staying in Reggello about 35km NE of Gaiole. In a party of 8 - (6 adults and 2 wee children).

Only 3 of us are riding the event. Not sure about Stephan but Eve and myself will be doing the 135km (training hasn't gone as well as I hoped) and will be wearing a Black/White retro look CTC jersey and white Cinelli hairnet and riding a black 'Henry Burton'

Just got to sort out the ferry to the mainland and get to Glasgow

White Cinelli hairnet with black and white jersey? Sounds like we'll be looking quite similar! Despite the big purple Cinelli label on my hairnet, I haven't got a single Cinelli part on any of my bikes!

Oh, I am sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't make it this year. Please take me off the list of participants there. I took a nasty tumble off my Ti road bike three weeks ago and broke my hip! I'm hobbling about on crutches now and trying to get some movement back in the joint. Three Ti bolts in my femur now. Next year I'll go, I promise!

Bugger. I hope you heal up quickly.
