Oh stop it all of you, you’re making me jealous! I flew from the UK to ride Eroica California as a 60th birthday treat to myself in 2018 and loved every second of it. I’d go back in a flash if I could! I managed to ride all the way up Kiler Canyon but had to walk up Cypress Mountain (and nearly tumbled down the other side!). I was on 25C tyres and a lowest gear of 42x28 - I would definitely go wider and lower next time. Good luck to all of you riders this year, it’ll be awesome! My only consolation is that I’m closer to Eroica Britannia, Limburg, Montalcino, etc. than most of you lot . . . nah nah!
