Come celebrate vintage Italian road cycling culture with us - bring your classic racing bicycles and ride with us through the beautiful Karoo around the dirt roads north of Montagu in the Western Cape. For those of you who are into a more modern approach, come and race our enduro-style NOVA Eroica race on your gravel bikes! Of course there will be great food and wine, and lots of old bicycles to lust over. With South Africa's rich cycling history, we’re proud to have this celebrated Italian event honoured on African soil. For 2019 we are adding a vintage bicycle concourse, so prepare your most beautiful and rarest old bicycles for display and judging - it’s time to see what South Africans have hidden in their bike collections! Enter soon, and secure your accommodation and dinner bookings - it’s going to be a fantastic weekend. See you there!Go to Event Page

lechatnoir Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 This was a tough old pedal this year. Did the Nova and am trying to persuade my trusty steed that next year will be just as fun. But jeepers, I need more legs or a bigger cassette for the first climb.... probably both!!

DJR Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 ..........For 2019 we are adding a vintage bicycle concourse, ...........Is it open for all participants to enter their bikes if they want? Cool idea. From what I have seen there in the past, there will be some amazing gems. May just spit & polish mine a bit!

Yes, anybody (even non-riders) can enter as many bikes as they like (within reason) into the concourse.

RocknRolla Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Man, this is on my list of events, but I'm not gonna swing it this year. That Zeus of mine has not seen any action for a while now. Been focusing on MTB for an upcoming event.
