Somebody had to say it. Ever since they cancelled the 2020 event and refused to refund my money I have little faith in their good faith.
Do I pay the $90 now and risk losing it when they decide there aren't enough riders returning, or do I wait unit August and pay an additional $60 if it looks like they are going to actually hold the event?

I'd be willing to spot you half of the super early bird fee if that makes it easier. You could always buy me lunch or something at the swap meet if the event happens!

I will not ride the 2023 Eroica CA, but do plan on volunteering. I will camp and Hearst San Simeon like I have done for the last few years. The current ride plan is to stay after the festivities and ride for two maybe three days on various routes. Hope the organizers take full advantage of the 2023 opportunity to get it right and re-establish their/its reputation.

Anybody tried to register today 10/27/2022? I'm not successful. The early bird option is no longer there, the combo is shaded out. May be under maintenance..... Will try later.

I saw a series of number when i opened the registration. Copied it and pasted in the coupon field but didn't work. I may write up a step by step once i figure it out. But if you have the decoder ring, please share.
Thanks
Thanks

I'm sure you thought of this but copy and paste may not jive, maybe enter the code manually?

I have heard from this forum and others that people would be happy to volunteer to make a better event. Have the organizers made anything of that offer? Have the organizers made any tangible change, other than the date, that you can point to?

If not, I would ask for it, in no uncertain terms. If not, I think that is considered theft.

I doubt the change from spring to fall had anything to do with increasing time to plan. I probably had to do with scheduling staff and maybe giving the east coasters time to train

I’m shocked that no one has complained about the rules yet.

For some reason I didn't receive the email about Eroica CA 2023, even though I continue to get emails regarding other Eroica events around the globe.
Trying to register on the MyEroica site and I'm held up by "Coupon Code" that I don't have. Was it in the email (that I didn't get)? Anyone care to post the code?
Kind of frustrating that I can't seem to register when I'm looking at the header photo on the site and it is a photo of me at an Eroica from a few years before.

No, it's a shot of me from behind - red jersey #197, light blue Serotta. One of the three shots that rotate thru at the top of the page. Taken the first year I attended, I think 2017.

Thanks for the notice on Eroica Cal. I am actually going to register for Eroica Britannia, and hope that it is not cancelled like this year. What I'll probably do is register for both, in case Britannia doesn't happen.

I'm in. I'll poach the NOVA and ride the vintage. I'm planning to do Gaiole again in 2023, and this will be a good training ride for that.
The weather could be classic Central Coast - foggy and cold when we roll out, hot as can be when we hit Paso.
It will be fun - great crew of people, scenery and roads.
