NOOSA EROICA 2- 2012
Postby spinner » Mon Feb 13, 2012 9:58 pm
This year we are hoping to give it another go around mid-year.
I was thinking the weekend of 30th June-1st July;
1. It doesn't clash with the heaps of other events here in Noosa.
2. Being during school holidays might make it easier for interstaters to attend.
But it's been pointed out that accommodation is expensive at these times and for many of us, school holidays are irrelevant
Maybe a couple of weeks later may be better?
So, I 'm going to throw it out there; when (if at all ) suits you guys??

You can get a pair of 27 x 1-1/4 whitewalls with tubes for $45, a fair bit cheaper than gatorskins .

If you have room for 28s i can strongly recommend Michelin City tires, about 3,000k so far with no punctures or even any wear at all.Retro man wrote:Pencil me in again.

Plus the swapmeet might yield up a gem or 2
If 22 July doesn't clash with anything we might lock it in!

I usually run Specialized 700 x 23's on that bike, but changed to Conti GP4000S 700 x 25's from the bike that shall not be mentioned and the difference was quite marked.ldrcycles wrote:If you have room for 28s i can strongly recommend Michelin City tires, about 3,000k so far with no punctures or even any wear at all.Retro man wrote:Pencil me in again.

No flats here for that rider either.

Is the T shirt pattern for last years ride still availabe at the T Shirt shop?
Maybe you should have a new one for this year available for viewing at the Show & Shine and orders could be taken.
Cheers

in the meantime, check out the current issue of Bicycling Australia (Mar./April)
for a wee plug on Noosa Eroica
Thanks Simon.
For a little inspiration, this weekend sees the running of the Strade Bianche for the pros.
(I wonder what tyres they run??)

Duds, I'll get Cotterpin to model the T shirt, as he's the most urbane of us lot.

21-22 July, hosted by Noosa Marina
http://www.noosamarina.com.au/
Yep, we're in competition with the final stages of this year's Tour de France
Online registration, soon hopefully, for mini-Eroica on saturday, the Show & Shine and Sunday's Noosa Eroica.
Also a couple of social events planned to keep the non-riding other-half happy too
Thanks to River Deck Restaurant

ldr, yep, thinking to keep the same course, now that we have those two 'iconic' climbs:ldrcycles wrote:Same route as last year? Should be a blast having it at the marina .
Jampot Creek road and Shadbolt Rd!!
Looking forward to seeing you there, redrover.
Cotterpin will be keen to see another Berretto.

Are modern helmets a requirement or could one wear a vintage?
