I meant it to to go whatever direction anyone may think of taking it... Initially, my idea was to find the enjoyment that comes from the activity of bicycling in the classic manner. To ride vintage and classic bicycles in a way that best builds a spirit within us when we connect to an earlier spirit of bicycling. Much like the speech giving by JFK to inspire the U.S. to reach the moon, in paraphrasing from that, "we do these things not because they easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve best to measure our energies, skills, and passions". That's heroic, in my eyes.

I think that was the idea behind Eroica... to find enjoyment that comes from challenging yourself, via classic and vintage bicycle riding wise, and to experience a sense of what it was like, back in the day. But, it doesn't really take spending a bunch of money, or riding a certain route, to experience this. And I wanted to here how others try to find that spirit in their everyday rides.
