Eroica South Africa & NOVA Eroica

On the weekend of 14 March 2020, one week after the famed Cape Town Cycle Tour, we are celebrating our fifth Eroica South Africa in the beautiful village and surrounds of Montagu. Come celebrate vintage Italian road cycling culture with us – bring your classic racing bicycles and ride with us through the beautiful Karoo around the dirt roads north of Montagu in the Western Cape. For those of you who are into a more modern approach, come and race our enduro-style NOVA Eroica race on your gravel bikes!

Of course there will be great food and wine, and lots of old bicycles to lust over. With South Africa’s rich cycling history, we’re proud to have this celebrated Italian event honoured on African soil.

As before, we’re hosting a vintage bicycle concourse, so prepare your most beautiful and rarest old bicycles for display and judging – it’s time to see what South Africans have hidden in their bike collections! Enter soon, and secure your accommodation and dinner bookings – it’s going to be a fantastic weekend.

See you there!
