Here's the thought of the organizer on why he puts on the Eroica:
Last year I rode in the pouring rain, thunder and lighting in L'Eroica Italy with over 5000 riders. I completed the 135km route with 1938 Umberto Dei equipped with 4 speed Vittoria Margherita.
I had a blast even with only one gear to use for about 80% of the ride (my bike and myself was covered in mud). In my head I was back in time when racers were true racers. Felt like I was in one of those old Giro d'Italia films.
At the goal in Gaiole everyone was excited and cheering each other. This is Eroica at its best, that was my thought.
So I hope you get to experience the same feeling I had in Italy here in California.
I wish I can ride with everyone.... But I can't. I have to run the event so you can enjoy the event.
Come ride and experience what the Eroica is all about.
You will cherish the photos from the ride for rest of your life.
