A few BIG members joined L'Eroica 2009 in Italy last weekend. This heavy cycling tour through the heart of Tuscany is famous because of the old-school bikes and clothing of the participants.The difficult parts of L'Eroica are the "Strade Bianchi". This unsurfaced roads are full of white gravel and little stones.
Italian members Alberto Simoni and Luigi Candeli joined L'Eroica for the 4th time (the 205 km!!). Dutch BIG-members Gerard van Dongen and Ingmar de Weijer did the 205 km too on their old Gazelle and Moser road bikes.
