Eroica CLASSIC, HERO & NOVA, South Africa

Eroica CLASSIC is a celebration of vintage cycling culture. Dust off your old steel road bike, unpack those wool cycling jerseys from yesteryear, and come and take on the beautiful dirt roads around Montagu. For 2024, we have a brand new route that takes riders up the infamous Ouberg Pass! Eroica CLASSIC is not a race, but rather a tough ride to pay homage to the greats from cycling's glorious past. The route includes fantastic food and drinks, and some wine just like in the good old days. Only vintage steel road bikes allowed.

Eroica HERO is for those who want to push their steel vintage bikes and their legs to the limit. This 173km all-gravel route is not for the feint-hearted. Only the toughest of riders need apply.

NOVA is Eroica's answer to modern gravel bike racing. This is a long fast paced route, but structured in such a way that you only race sections, and you have time the enjoy the views and great rest stops along the way. A social race, if you will. Only open to modern gravel bikes.
