  3. You might know Eroica South Africa as the event that celebrates vintage bicycles and the culture that surrounds these beautiful machines. But since 2018 the NOVA, Eroica’s answer to modern gravel bike racing, has become a big part of the South African event. This year NOVA will run alongside our classic event on the weekend of 6-8 […] View full article
  4. I often get “I thought Eroica was only for vintage bicycles?” … well you’d be correct that Eroica has always been about celebrating vintage cycling culture and the ways things used to be. But Eroica also looks to the future, and just like those early racers took their road bikes to gravel when they had to, so we do it now on our modern gravel bikes so many years later. NOVA is Eroica’s answer to how modern cycling can be invited to the vintage fold. Come race your modern gravel bike at NOVA Eroica! Click here to view the article
  5. Hi - as you can see from the attached picture, I have now collected 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and now 2021 EROICA posters, which means I a missing just....ONE poster....that being the 2016 poster... So, an earnest request if anyone can find me one, pretty much any condition is acceptable, and I will HAPPILY swap some BEER for the poster, or what you need! thanks! Chris 072 211 7725
  6. Download attachment: _1 LEAD IMAGE_9220.jpg Eroica South Africa 2020 was the event that almost didn’t happen. However, we managed to just scrape through before Cyril announced our major national lockdown. But, we’re very happy to say, we are back for 2021! Despite all the challenges this past year has brought, we think it’s time that we get back on the bike again. Perhaps it was during lockdown that you finally decided to fix up that steel frame gathering dust in the back of the garage that you inherited from your grandfather. Or maybe you spent the months scouring the internet for your first vintage bike - bravo! Now is the time to ride. Click here to view the article

  8. It’s time to dust off those old Bianchis and Alpinas. Pump your tyres and set the gears - Eroica South Africa is back on the weekend of 17 March 2018! This will be our third edition, and the best one yet. We’ll have our three beautiful gravel routes for you to take on with your vintage bike, but for this year we’re also introducing NOVA Eroica, a brand new gravel race category for modern bicycles.

  10. In 3 weeks from now we’ll be in Montagu for our fourth Eroica South Africa - a celebration of vintage cycling culture, beautiful old bicycles, and good times. For those who are new to the concept, Eroica is an Italian event that pays homage to the cycling races of old. We ride old vintage steel road bikes on dirt roads, and we celebrate the cycling greats like Coppi and Bartali by dressing in vintage kit, and eschewing energy gels in favour of red wine and cheese. Eroica is not a race, rather a tough ride to reconnect ourselves with our beautiful sport, our marvellous machines and the landscapes we move through. Come enjoy a weekend of friendship and adventure on the edge of the Karoo in Montagu! Click here to view the article

  12. If you spent a bit of time digging around for a vintage bicycle part in South Africa, one name always comes up - Ron Thompson. The legend, the infamy, the stories. You’ll hear things like, “he’s got seven garages piled to the roof with old bikes”, “he’s got parts in there worth millions”, “he’s a grumpy old dude who won’t sell anything!” And if you heard that, it’s kinda true. I know, I’ve been there, I’ve tried to buy stuff. Yes, seven garages and then some, but not quite packed to the ceiling - for all the chaos in Ron’s storage, there is a bit of order and it’s easy to snoop around. Worth millions? Maybe, to the right market. But that market does not exist in South Africa, not yet anyway. Click here to view the article

  16. The most common question I get asked about Eroica coming to South Africa is, “Will my bike be allowed?”. Now it is true that the rules pertaining to what bike you can ride is very strict, and that not too many of these rare old racers are available locally, but to address this we’ve created a second category especially for South Africa.
