L'eroica 2013

So this means we're in if we're on the list, unless we take more than 15 days to reply to the email?

I hope so. I'm sure all will be revealed anyway...

EDIT: Ah hang on, the number is all-important. Well I should be ok as long as my email doesn't inexplicably and catastrophically stop working ;)

So I'm down as as number 1003 - does that mean I'm third reserve...?

Well that's what I'd thought at first. That may prove to be rubbish though.

If that is how it works then I reckon you're fairly alright with 1003 :)

communication is a mess.

Yay, I'm no. 355. Just got to wait for that e-mail to arrive...

Emails to be sent out on Monday supposedly...

I'm in, awaiting email. forza.

In too! Woot!!

On the list, but down in the 1,200's. What the fuck is going on?

Unfortunately, it looks as though roughly 1350 people applied to register and only the first 1000 names selected make it in. at 1200's it's unlikely your going to get an automatic place. There's a couple of other ways though.

I'd already booked accommodation so I was go to go either way. In fact I plan on doing this ride a lot so I'm going to try and register every year but I'm not going to let not getting in ruin a good holiday.

I've booked accommodation too - that part of Tuscany is a joy to visit at any time. Does strike me that the organisers have made it all a bit too complicated though.

I'm down at 1221. My mate Nick around 400. I'm going, he can feed and water me #gotmeadomestique

Nightmare sibling rivalry I got 567 and my brother 1264 . He's not done it before, I guess I should give him my number Rolf Harris style !?

that's the spirit!

A true Rolf fan would carry his brother on the back of his own bike.

even better

The Eroica site was updated with an undated (...) message:

[INDENT]"Online the entire lists of the Under 60 men drawn
In a few days 1,000 foreigners (check your position in the first column on the left) will receive an e-mail with instructions to complete their registration within fifteen days.
If the application process is not completed within the given period or if the e-mail entered at the time of pre-registration is no longer valid, the right to complete the registration will be lost.
Where there is a shortfall, the organization will draw additional pre-registered participants in the order in which they are drawn and send them an e-mail until the number of participants set for each group is reached."[/INDENT]

On the Eroica facebook page Claudio Marinangeli answered a question about the e-mails everyone is expecting, around noon yesterday (Google translated):

[INDENT]"calm, the 15 days shall run from sending ... In the evening we begin the first email but not all at once, not to clog up the system .."[/INDENT]

they must have some 1980s server and software running there. no idea what's going to happen.

Same here. Paid up, entered and good to go. Just need to finish off the bike.
