Say that gravel was born from the events of Eroica, is perhaps too daring. Although it is true that, in 1997, when L'Eroica decides to hit the ground again with road bikes, the participants used their old and robust bicycles instead of the more fragile ones of the latest manufacture. Gravel is part of L'Eroica's DNA.
In Eroica Caffè Barcelona They are motivated by the challenge of opening paths. Since its opening, they have always opted for gravel and Barcelona. With its famous #sundaygravel Every weekend cyclists leave from Eroica Caffè Barcelona to tour the four Natural Parks that rise parallel to the coast: Garraf Park, Collserola Park and Serralada Marina Park and Serralada Litoral Park. It may seem complicated and dangerous to leave Barcelona by bicycle. However, they have been doing it for more than two years. Without complaints or accidents, with great ease and happiness.
In a short time, Eroica Caffè Barcelona has shown that, in a city that seems saturated, an abandoned store in the center can be turned into a small oasis. They have also shown that cycling can be done safely on a daily basis outside of competitive environments. Now they also show that Barcelona not only has nothing to envy of Girona, but that it has a lot to offer cyclists, since it has a natural paradise at its doors. Far from mass tourism, Barcelona deserves to attract active and family tourism, nature and health tourism, cultural tourism. In recent months, the citizen of Barcelona has recovered his city, and has begun to recover his environment. Barcelona offers its inhabitants and visitors endless offers for outdoor sports. There is wonderful nature right around the corner, without the need to travel.
They propose a challenge for cyclists who want to spend a day on a non-competitive and self-guided activity, which runs through the Barcelona mountain range. Three distances with free start, without times, in the pure style of their #socialride. In pure eroic style. An outdoor meeting with refreshment points, gift packs and raffles, with a track to follow the route you have chosen... And with a dream: that this spectacular tour around the surroundings of Barcelona, suitable for any healthy and fit person reasonable physical conditions, stay and improve your journey. We want to contribute to increasing the comfort of the routes into and out of Barcelona by bicycle. So that the short step that exists between the center of Barcelona and its immediate and wonderful surroundings is a walk.
Taking advantage of the celebration of this march, Eroica Caffè Barcelona commissioned us to design their saddle personalized, of which they will raffle 3 that same day, and which they will put on sale in their own boutique space and in their online store. From the beginning they were very clear about the concepts and ideas they wanted to capture, and this is how they have been reflected: the trencadís, known worldwide in the most important modernist works of the city of Barcelona, and a distinctive seal with a message of support, and a little message to that bug that has upset him this last year (#FuckCovid).
