Come race your modern gravel bike at NOVA Eroica!

[News bot]

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!

Grab a cardboard box from your local bike shop? I never bother with bike boxes ... free, readily available, reuse, and recycle.

My favourite ride.Such a nice vibe on and off the bike. Glad the route is shorter this year. The 150 km was a killer but also a challenge

Ah, the lesser spotted Flamingoes in all their hipster glory, stick on mustaches and everything.

Have just entered and you’ve reminded me to get a nice flannel shirt - sadly a month is not enough time for me to grow a beard

I would go that route if I trusted ACSA staff not to chuck someone else's overweight wheeliebag on top of my carbon bike...

Best thing to do is to build one using Correx board, rivets and some adhesive velcro.

 

I have one I built which has done nearly 10 years of service at multiple expedition races, international flights etc and with a few duct tape repairs is still going strong.

 

The correx protects your bike better than anything

Those moustaches are 100% real.

So much awesomeness, I just wish the Nova was on the Sunday so that we could do both rides over the weekend.
