Cock L'Eroica


Soon...


Day 2: First Breakfast - or is it?

A heroic Crusader enjoys a hearty breakfast with his friends, before the day's challenge... 


Hello Mr Limoncello!

A splendid team building dinner  "- now the hard work begins!

Post-fettling Nosh...

So frantic fettling on 'top of the range' Halfords bikes - how bad can it be?


 After much male-grooming banter between two of our non-flying heros, off to the only place to eat in town - litteraly...


When in Rome!


Wonderful to see the sunshine.  Let's hope the bags are here too...


On the bus, off the bus, on the plane, off the plane, on the bus...

You get the idea... Safely arrived at Heathrow, the CAP Crusaders enjoy a hearty second breakfast... Well, 2 of us thanks to the Chief Crusader's special Lounge Card (sorry team, but the bacon butties really were very good...)

Day Zero: Practice Pack

L'Eroica

Day Zero and the day before tomorrow, when our brave CAP Crusaders will attempt to complete L'Eroica, a 205km cycling stage that seems to attract a retro theme which can be witnessed at L'Eroica.  The only retro aspect of our heroes ride will be the riders themselves! Can they do it? The next few days will tell...

But you can help them along the journey by sponsoring them at: Fundraising Page

"There are those who grow their belle époque mustache. Those who arrive late at night, shake the backpack from their shoulders and sleep in a sleeping bag. Those who could do two hundred kilometers, but prefer to do seventy and enjoy the show, and above all the refreshments".
