Nova Eroica Buonconvento 2027

NOVA Eroica Buonconvento uses modern bicycles on the white roads associated with L'Eroica, beginning in Buonconvento, Siena province. This April gravel event is for gravel, cyclocross, and modern road bikes, offering route choices for various fitness levels and riding styles. Participants can approach it as a timed race or a more leisurely journey through rural Tuscany. The routes incorporate sections of the permanent L'Eroica course, heading towards Chianti via the Crete Senesi. The structure is based on Race, Ride, and Relax, blending competition with food, camaraderie, and landscape appreciation. NOVA Eroica was an early Italian event for modern bikes on white roads, contributing to the distinct character of Italian gravel cycling and infusing L'Eroica's historic spirit into today's cycling.
