Win with Eroica BritanniaEroica Britannia Competition is now closed - winner announced!
The Eroica Britannia competition is now closed
The lucky winner is Steve Hodgson!
Congratulations Steve, we hope you have a lovely time.
This week we have something a little different for you to win and not just you, but you and a riding friend can both win an Eroica Britannia Festival Pass for the Classic Event on the 17th June 2018 in the Peak District.
That festival pass means that you can camp from Friday 15th and enjoy the festival line up which is much more than just cycling with its eclectic mix of music, entertainment, exquisite shopping, incredible food & drink, and much more.
In the words of the organisers, the Eroica Britannia Classic is a challenge, so choose a ride distance that suits you and your friend's ability and then enjoy the pain of the climbs and the euphoria of the descents all while being cheered home by the thousands of spectators lining the course.
More details are available here:
It all sounds like a fantastic experience for the lucky winners, but even better than just the ride entry the lovely people at Eroica Britannia are covering the camping and parking for a max of 4 people so you can bring non-riding friends as well (they will just need to pay for festival entry which is £35 each) plus you and your riding partner will get Eroica Britannia Retro Jerseys, T-shirts, Caps and the ever useful Musette bag, perfect for walking around the event picking up souvenirs and holding your suntan cream.
Best get hunting your fancy dress costume. Tally Ho!
And if you need help finding a bike built prior to 1987 you can always hire one, so don't panic. Eroica Britannia has teamed up with some specialist partners who can help you find a bike, check them out here.
Where there's a Pimms, there's a way.
Best of luck and Rule Britannia!
Even I would say 'report horse ramming to the police ' because just ignoring that report is viewed as less acceptable than if it was a cyclist -...
Yes (and there's almost no cycling infra up here) I've experienced fairly vigorous criticism for saying hello and not ringing a bell, or for going ...
I wasn't a bike geek or "serious" rider then (not now...) - my ride was a non-suspended 26" wheel "mountain bike" with V-brakes and piano key...
And, bonus, you can get rid of feed zones - just make them carry all their supplies in the basket.
Indistinguishable? I overtook a legal e-bike last week. I am a member of the public and I managed to distinguish it from an illegal e-motorbike...
Reminds me of a similar thing in an area of London, where residents were fed up with their areas being blighted by drug dealing and prostitution....
I tried to make a thread announcing a league code for Velogames, but it seems to have been banished to the aether. The code is 620099424
Speed has nothing to do with it...
I agree! I'd keep the ban and remove powermeters as well, personally, though I'd keep radios for safety reasons.
It looks great. My pockets probably aren't deep enough sadly.
