Photo by Jack Thurston
As a photographer, I rarely find myself in front of the camera. In this case, I didn’t even know Jack was shooting a photo, I was just ripping and having a blast. Who says you need a 45c tire to shred gravel? Run what you brung.
The Eroica Britannia was a lot of fun. Also, for those who wonder how I carry a camera on rides…
Next week, I board a plane and hop the pond over to the UK. It’ll be the first time there with a bike and while I’m not bringing anything from my personal stable, I’ll have something vintage to ride, donated graciously by Brooks England.
The mainstay for the trip is the L’Eroica Britannia, a new take on the classic Italian event, at home in The Peak District, UK. Over 1,600 riders will depart on three rides (33 miles, 50 miles and 100 miles) on pre-1987 steel bicycles.
You should check out this interview at the Brooks England Blog and more information at the L’Eroica Britannia website. Maybe I’ll see you there?
Now’s the main thing on my mind: what do I wear?
