GAIOLE, ITALIA

L'EROICA 2015

"Paso Robles is nice. But come ride with us in Gaiole for the heart and soul of L'Eroica."

- rita & claudio

L'Eroica Gaiole Italy. Mother of all white-road vintage cycling rides. Ghosts of Bartoli, Gimondi and Nencini.

Why ride old bikes in slop.

I asked myself at hour three in the rain, after a fall and a walk up roads no longer holding my tire. Still I've never felt more connected to this land and those around me, Not the same as driving by in a rented Panda.
