News bot Posted March 25, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Engelbrecht Posted March 25, 2021 Share Who has a bike box in GP that I can borrow for a weekend...Grab a cardboard box from your local bike shop? I never bother with bike boxes ... free, readily available, reuse, and recycle. Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Smith Posted March 25, 2021 Share 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 Stan Engelbrecht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted March 26, 2021 Share 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 Stan Engelbrecht and bertusras 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
