L'Eroica 2011

l'eroica registration has opened up again and i've booked myself in for the 205km this time... yay!

i know JD and teddy are coming but anyone else?

see old threads...

2009
2010

I got my ticket also 205Km. Will be my first year and I can't wait.

Does anyone know what the best bet for cheap accommodation is in the area or if there are any campsites?

This looks fantastic!

What bikes are you guys taking?

there is a campsite put on in gaiole but to be honest i would avoid camping as it's fricking freezing at night and for the 5.30 start... there are lots of B&B's about though try expedia?

Have you got a link to the official site?

How much is it to register?

I've sorted my shit out.

I'm in! The full 205km!

Time to start renovating that Carlton Continental...

yay! we best get some training in - it's a real killer but happy to hear i will be sharing it with you

Training???

Shit!

hell yeah! 2 people died in 2009 doing it! -
john who road last year set off at 5.30 and didn't get back to gaoile till 6

we have to at least do a few 100-150 milers around yorkshire between now and then - i was thinking of doing a century a month to get used to it - set off as early as poss and see how far we can get

I'm in for a bit of that.

Is cake involved?

yes - and more foods + wine :D

I'm good at the more foods + wine type of training.

Nom nom nom.

fixehs welcum

sorry , yeah, it is a goodie, ill stop being giddy now, must be the dizzy spells they told me about...

If it's any consolation, I'm 38 this year! My wife, bless her, is 42.

All that clean living and exercise probably makes you physically about 15, so I wouldn't worry about hitting 40!

Now stop being a silly sausage and sign up for this event!

first ride matt.... 19th or 26th of this month? ride from harrogate into the dales and back? big pub lunch in the middle?

I like the choice of dates - I'll let you know. Got to break it to the missus that I've registered!

Anyone else signed up yet? Entries started yesterday for this year's ride on 2 October in Tuscanny. It's limited to 500 non-Italians, but I see that one (of the very few) advantages of being an over-60 like me is that this age range isn't limited :-)

See you there I hope!

will be there, make arrangements tomorrow and sign up! would be nice to see some forum people
