Cino Heroica 2021 Ride Report
I finally got a little essay about this year's ride up on my blog: http://www.thebeautifulbicycle.com/2...-heroica-2021/

Great write up and super photos.

What a nice surprise to see some writing about the event that has become the highlight of my summer riding.
If you've never been to Montana I can't think of a better excuse to come for a visit....if you have ridden in Montana you know what you'll be missing if you don't make the trip. See you next summer. dave |
Mr. Kirk is right. It is a magical ride and worth the trouble of getting to Montana. I'm planning on going again. Great people, great roads, great food, great scenery.

Thinking about it for next year!

Hey, just read through. Great ride report bici! I enjoy this kind of thing and ride reports are my favorite threads to read here. Looks like you had a great time and the roads look phenomenal. I'd love to give the event a go one of these years.
Doable on 25's? I'm betting yes. |

Both times I did Cino I did so on 30's and even still one needed to keep your eyes open for the odd big and sharp rock that would pinch flat them. With all of the new wide tire gravel options many would get the impression that you can't ride on gravel unless you have 40+ mm tires and one look at the group of bikes that are used at the Cino will put that idea to bed in a hurry. Lots of old school narrow tubulars are used out there and the smiles on the riders faces speak volumes. dave |

I can’t remember this rider’s name, but I think he was riding on 23s on narrow vintage Campy rims —IIRC he had something like five flats. I thought 32s at around 60psi were perfect—but I did get one pinch flat on a fast downhill. My partner running 30s didn’t flat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
That's a pretty cool bike right there.

Thanks so much for posting that write-up. Somehow I have to get myself and my ‘72 Bob Jackson out there! Are you permitted modern equipment on an old frameset? I definitely couldn't ride that on a 52-45 x 13-23, which is what I think is in the drawer of Nuovo Record bits for that bike.

Looks like a pretty glorious ride and a good group too! Thanks for posting.

Anything built of lugged steel is very much appreciated. It's a really enjoyable event. The ride is real and it's not a vintage bike parade but that's what makes it so much fun and Heroic. dave dave |
