★ 'Gaiole in Chianti'


Each year, generally in October, a race is held known as L’Eroica.
Fair use Excerpt from "Brooks Saddles Catalog":
As can be read in one of our old catalogues, Brooks saddles
were once the choice of all participants at the Tour de
France. Of course, time and technology has moved on, but
the atmosphere of that bygone era can still be experienced
at L’Eroica, the world’s most gruelling daily cycle tour.
At the end of each summer the village of Gaiole in Tuscany,
Italy, plays host to a community of cyclists determined to
keep the sprit of that era alive. They don period clothing
and ride vintage bikes which, given the course, can only be
described as truly heroic. A set of dirt road courses, ranging
from the easy 40 km to the hardest 200 km tour, await the
participants who ride L’Eroica.
Brooks England Ltd participates in this event, which is
changing not only the way people enjoy cycling, but is also
challenging professional cyclists. In fact, for the first time
in years, during the 2005 Giro D’Italia, the racers climbed
over a mountain on a dirt road for about 8km.
L’Eroica is more than reliving a bygone era of cycling, it is
about bringing back the values of “heroism” to modern
professional, enthusiast and recreational cycling.
