Mid-Atlantic l’eroica style events?
 

Anyone know of any L’Eroica style or vintage bike rides in the mid-Atlantic area? I’d like to do one but seems like I’d have to go to California.

I’m thinking of showing up to the seagull century on a vintage rig. Nothing heroic about a dead flat ride in Maryland, but maybe we can get a decent crowd of C&V riders, and then — who knows? Maybe it can be a thing.

You mentioned "vintage ride" (vs Eroica-style). What I would like to find is a century that is relatively flat (under 3,500 ft. of climbing), so that I can use my oldest bike, that pushes about forty-seven gear inches in low.

You’ve just described the seagull century. Dead flat (maybe boringly so), but the eastern shore of maryland is not wholly without charm. Course map.

I met these fine folks in Washington DC several years ago. If my memory serves me correctly, they were part of a Philadelphia bicycle club. I think they were part of the Philly Tweed Ride club - https://www.instagram.com/phillytweedride/?hl=en
