Really funny Italenglish. Territory? Aspects of lifestyle?
I can't stand dressing up.

Sounds like bollocks.

Sounds like complete bollocks.

Sounds like complete fucking bollocks.
with a 3 route bike tour of The Peak District.
That sounds pretty cool.

No idea about "territory" and "sustainability" but for me a British take on "heroic cycling" suggests...um... time trialling...a miner or millworker lovingly fettling their pride and joy (all fixed gear of course) ready for a weekend on the hills...steaming breath on the track at dawn...pipe smoking frame-builders in gaslit workshops from Leeds to South London....cake...pints of brown flat beer....jumpers for goalposts. ..sorry what was I talking about again?
Still I see they've got the location right. Think I'll be there
-
I take it you can't ride it fixed?
-
Wool jerseys, alpaca tights.......
Of course you can ride it fixed, Jimmy, I'll be fitting a bigger block to my Gios as I've ridden there before!
Clearly written by a tree-hugging twat of a 'Creative', but I might well do this anyway. Paging Luckyskull.....
-
^^ Of course you can ride fixed it is just the date of your bike that matters

And another pre-reg, next job is to turn the miscellaneous pile of 1970's bits I have collected, into a working bike.
-
Me and my 1986 Vitus have pre regsitered.
Do you think they'll get cross if I turn up with a front spokk?
It's meant to have period bikes and parts (i.e no brifters),
It says:
'Any registered cyclist who arrives at the start line or is found on the course with a bicycle that
does not conform to the rules and regulations of the event will be disqualified immediately'
as well as
'wheels must have at least 32 spokes with a low profile'
if I were you I'd just borrow a front wheel seeing as it probably isn't worth the riskhere are the rules and regs

Join us and make iconic British history.
We present L'Eroica Britannia 'the most handsome bike race in the World' alongside a 3 day bike and style festival in the green, very pleasant and spectacular lands of the Peak District National Park, UK.
Come to Bakewell the 'ancient capital of the Peak' in the heart of The Peak District National Park and join us on our Great British Adventure, 3 weeks before The Tour de France comes to the UK.
Over the 3 days we're celebrating a very British take on the values of territory, sustainability and the joys of food and drink. The festival's pinnacle is on the 22nd June with our 'Great British Adventure' as we embrace the romantic idea of heroic cycling as it once was, placed alongside aspects of lifestyle, belonging and the Great British Countryside with a 3 route bike tour of The Peak District.
