L'eroica 2013

not happy about this... I have no idea how many riders they had to turn down last year but the chance of missing out is not at all making me happy. what would be the reasoning behind this? I have sent an e-mail to the organisation with some questions, will share if I get a response.

I think this is the problem. In they had to turn away a lot of people that are not italian.
Plus there are always people that won't or can't turn up as lots change from registration in March to the actual ride in October.
Which i think has led to this proposal of a lottery so it allows people to attend the ride that other wise can't as they missed out in previous attempts to register.
Last year there seemed to be a lot of people complaining about people on the rides that had not registered and stopped off at the feed stations to help themselves.
I will probably attend wether i get a number or not. As the whole experience is a jolly up and a bit of a holiday for me.
Good luck to all of you on registration.
