L’Eroica is one of the most iconic cycling events in the world, celebrating the golden age of cycling with a unique blend of history, endurance, and vintage charm. Held in Tuscany, Italy, it attracts riders who embrace classic steel-framed bicycles and the legendary white gravel roads of the region.
Before you embark on this nostalgic journey, there’s an essential requirement to take care of: obtaining a valid medical certificate. If you’re unsure why it’s needed and how to get one, this guide will walk you through the process — and show you how Fit Certify makes it effortless.
L’Eroica is more than just a cycling event; it’s a tribute to the sport’s rich history. Participants ride pre-1987 bicycles, don traditional cycling gear, and navigate the stunning Strade Bianche — the historic white gravel roads of Tuscany.
With varying distances from shorter 46km routes to the full 209km experience, L’Eroica is a test of endurance, skill, and passion for cycling’s heritage. Unlike modern races, it embraces a spirit of camaraderie and adventure rather than competition.
Participating in L’Eroica requires a valid medical certificate, and for good reason. Here’s why it’s a crucial part of your preparation:
