L'eroica 2013

yep, fixed would be a terrible idea.

I want to go but I am so broke that is unlikely

Interested to hear from others that have ridden before what's the score with non-registered riders on previous editions?

Exact same situation as yourself. Hotel booked, planning on going regardless.

Did it last year and honestly don't think it'll be a big deal if you're not registered. You can even set off with the group.

However, you won't get an official time card to be stamped when arriving and leaving at the food stops. So you'll have to keep a track of your own riding time.
Also it'd be poor form to eat food you've not payed for so you'd probably want to make other arrangements for your rest stop/eating (probably nearby bistro or cafe)
And you won't get a prize (bottle of wine and a weird cake) no big deal, I left mine as a present for the apartment owners.

It'll be amazing either way.

Am I being blind as I can't see the registration link?!

scroll down on the homepage www.eroica.it, there's 2 red buttons, left for under 60

Cheers, done.

I am reasonably hopeful that the slightly drawn out registering procedure will put off at least a few prospective entrants, ;)

Fuck it..... I've applied, and creeped and crawled in the 'additional notes' bit.....we'll see.

Draw tomorrow apparently.

and looking forward to it, especially when watching the strade bianche race (now on!)

so... the 'registration lookup' shows no result for my name :-(

how about you guys?

My name comes up.

Peter, if last year is anything to go by, loads of people will have registered that can't go anyway - places will come up.

Not sure they've made the draw yet as I can't find mention of it on their website or either of their faccebook pages.

sadly I'm quite sure they have (it was announced for March 3rd) as I do find results for some of my friends and persons I know that have applied for the 1st time.

I see my name if I enter it and the event, is this good?

99% sure - yes

congrats!

nice, peter, we'll smuggle you in like a kinda escape to victory thing,
I want to play Pele though

got my mince pies on a cx for it

Well, if that MYSDAM thing is correct, the seven of us I entered have all been registered!

That's a weight off my mind since I wasn't sure what we were going to do if only some of us got in.

I guess at some point they will send us an email asking for the balance of the entry fee ....?

I have e-mailed the organisation, it's not as black an white as I thought - much fuzzier. see below:

Hello Peter,
next week will be the draw.
After the list is published.
After a few days will receive an email with the luckiest to complete the registration
Good luck

hello,

I see that 3rd of march the registration was closed and the draw has been made. I have checked this website to see if I can enter this year:

http://www.sdam.it/events/registrations-check.do

Is this the correct way to check registration?

I am not on the list. Can I still enter L'Eroica?

Thank you, all the best

Hey all,

I am considering making my debut this year for this ride. From reading the above, it all seems to be up in the air at the moment. As a female (and it being International Womens Day!), I should perhaps try my luck and register.

I'm up for the alternative also as described above....the scenery, riding, wine and whole ambience.

DeLights you should definitely come! There is no luck required for ladies who wish to enter - we're guaranteed a place as long as we register before the end of June. :)

Yeah Peter, they didn't actually make the draw on the 3rd, that was just the closing date for entry. They just said (rather vaguely) they will make the selection at some point after the 3rd. Nobody worry and please don't let not getting your name selected put you off going. Getting accommodation is a much bigger deal in my opinion ;)

I read somewhere the actual draw was yesterday. anyone hear anything yet? on the eroica facebook page there are some people shouting their registration numbers about

woops, found it. http://www.eroicafan.it/images/estrazioni_estero.pdf

I'm in!

this remains quite cryptical though ;-)

"The first 1000 extracts will receive an e-mail with an invitation to regularize the registration later than
15 days. If not will do so in time, will be excluded from the list and you will be more than drawing
from."
