It may be a bit of cosplay for some but many of those old guys riding are taking no prisoners! Having ridden a number of Eroica's now, I can say that for most of those "old guys" who ride the long route their bikes and gear are what they ride every day. They will pass you on a climb in the big ring with a baguette under their arm while drinking Chianti! They are the real deal!!!
