L'Eroica 2009 Brooks England Report

[Zaelia]

This was posted on my local cycling advocacy list-serve. I thought
that some on this list might enjoy it.

"The first in a series of reports done by Brooks to highlight some of
the communities we continue to support.

This reports features "L'Eroica", a 200km randonneur in Tuscany that
occurs every year in the first week of October. Participants must use
bikes no younger than 1987."

There was supposed to be one in Boulder, CO, this year but something
fell through. I don't know the whole story. But there's something of
an update here:

A similar ride is happening in my neck of the woods - the Whistler
GranFondo - http://www.whistlergranfondo.com/

"A ride you never thought possible. One of the most scenic highways in
the world. Or a great excuse to see the Olympic cities of Vancouver
and Whistler. Whatever your motivation, the Whistler GranFondo is the
ride you've been waiting for.

This will be the first large scale, fully supported ride along the
newly upgraded Sea to Sky highway – Hwy 99 – from Vancouver to
Whistler. With breathtaking views of Howe Sound, challenging climbs
through the Coast Mountain Range and more downhill than you’d expect,
this ride will impress and inspire like none other."
