Hello all.

Can anyone give me and my bike a lift from Bologna airport to the Eroica?

I live in Modena, and i'm doing the 205km for the third time. I can meet you at arrivals in Bologna airport.

I'm willing to pay my share of car hire/petrol/motorway costs. I speak Italian and I can do the map reading if you haven't got a SatNav.

If you still haven't sorted out accommodation than I have big tent you can sleep in as well. You are more than welcome to stay at my house on Sunday night. I live about 40km from Bologna, quite close to the motorway.

PM me if you are interested.

Last year's Eroica in 3D course profile :-)

If you're on Strava, try out www.veloviewer.com - pretty neat!

just got this today

comes off next week, then they put another on, hope it doesn't nause me ride (

damn. what'd you do?

get well soon mate! hope it won't bother you on the bouncy bits :-/

Cheers mate
I smashed my pinkie with a rubber mallet trying to get a crown race off some alan voorvorks
Went to hospital and under x ray it had split, so hence the cast
Right hand fingers are crossed

i'm hearing plaster casts are on for between 6-8 weeks
i don't mind a handicap, but that's shite

This was just on the L'Eroica FB page...

Giroditalia Vintage Operator - Singapore, will bring a group to l'Eroica 2103. Due to last moment cancellation of 2 participants, there are now 2 Eroica entry/ticket at euro100/each available (you will get 50euro Voucher out of it for your shopping @ l'Eroica). Interested parties please write to leonardo@giroditalia.asia
First-come-first served basis. Ciao

if i can't make it, my ticket is up for grabs

free

have them fix you a cast with which you can ride? although that will might pretty sketchy on the strade bianche descents... maybe you can do with just the pinkie in a cast instead of your entire left of body

nuts ay? I couldn't believe it when they did it, like a kinda crab arm now
lucky i use my other hand in the toilet

oh well, it's more than 4 weeks to go from now, maybe you'll heal up pretty fast. If they don't take it off in time I can bring me best cast angle grinder to Gaiole :-)

nice one mate
i'm in zurich at mo finishing a work project,
salt in the wounds or what, beautiful weather and ace hills, and i can't ride
impressed with bike scene here, saw three nags, one a isotar (i think ) decor master with delta gruppo being ridden by a hottie with flat bar, a de rosa, a gios, and last night an anti porn merckx, as luck would have it, battery went flat so no pic, got others of anti which i shall post in appropriate place
also found a hipster fixie shop run by arseholes who i had an argument with, i took pics and said i will post to ridicule , proper of bunch knobs, about 8 years behind the curve

Heal up Saarf!

many thanks and Jah Love X

I have a spare place if anyone wants. Although l'Eroica website is saying:

"To collect your entry number, you must present a valid identity document and a copy of the payment and registration form sent to the organization, even if your details have been published on http://www.eroica.it"

Last year, all I needed to collect a mate's stuff was his name and DoB. Maybe they will be a bit more strict following the introduction of the ballot.
