Not long after I learned that l’Eroica had expanded to include a ride in the states, I wrote a post about it. I was quickly contacted by the organizer, Wesley Hatakeyama, who made it clear he thought that the ride would be every bit as good as the ones elsewhere including Tuscany. I had no disagreement, though I always thought that l’Eroica by definition was a ride in Italy.
Fast forward to today or this weekend and I find myself in Paso Robles, California with my Moseman bike, my l’Eroica kit and registered to ride. Today’s warm up ride over the short course corroborates everything Wes said. As a bonus, I’ll be able to speak to other riders, assuming English is their language.
The area is beautiful and having met “Bob” at the bar last night, I can imagine this will be a great ride.
L'Eroica Dreams 
I was there. It was the last year at Paso Robles. I have done every year since Eroica California started and did the Cambria ride earlier this year. I am signed up for the ride again next year as Eroica California is going through some changes . It is still a great event for us vintage road bike enthusiests.
