I’ve never entered a cycling sportive in my life… but I’m a sucker for a good poster and these posters from the people who organise the Eroica events have featured several times in the past on CyclingEurope.org. They’ve just sent through the complete set for 2021 – yes, it appears that they are starting again… – and the first of their cycles is actually today in South Africa.

All scheduled events have been confirmed, though with some date changes. South Africa kicks off the calendar, followed by Japan, Montalcino, Buonconvento, Germany, Dolomites, Limburg, California, Switzerland, Gaiole in Chianti, closing the year in Spain. 

The Nova Eroica calendar continues to grow: “a reality that is attracting new participants”, notes Nicola Rosin. “The Eroica calendar marks a fresh and joyous start, a liberating escape from this sad time”, adds Giancarlo Brocci
