NOVA Eroica Buonconvento 2027 is scheduled for 11 April in Tuscany. Unlike the vintage-bike format associated with L’Eroica, NOVA welcomes modern gravel, road and cyclocross bicycles. Its combination of free-paced riding and timed sections makes route choice and sensible equipment preparation more useful than chasing an impressive distance on paper.

NOVA Eroica Buonconvento 2027: date and formats
The organiser confirms 11 April 2027. Its current route overview includes short, medium, long and Epic options, with distances from roughly 43 km to 290 km. Reconfirm the course, surfaces, timings and entry conditions for your chosen 2027 format before booking; a headline event date does not make every older regulation current.
Choose a format that suits both your gravel experience and the time you want to spend riding. A long route needs more than road fitness: rough surfaces and repeated climbs can change your average speed. The Epic option needs a separate endurance and logistics plan. Do not treat it as a casual extension of the shorter ride.
A modern bike for Tuscany's white roads
NOVA is the modern-bike event, not an instruction to bring a historic bicycle. Check the latest bicycle eligibility and rider requirements on the organiser's registration pages. Select tyres suitable for the route and compatible with your frame, and test them on gravel before travelling rather than changing them the night before.
Review brakes, wheels, bolts and drivetrain with your normal mechanic or maintenance routine. Carry a repair kit that matches your setup. Pack clothing for changing conditions and practise eating and drinking while riding. Keep your pacing plan realistic across both timed and untimed sections.
Travel and equipment checklist
Arrange arrival, bike transport and entry collection around the confirmed programme. If flying, measure your bike bag against the airline's actual limits and protect the frame where straps or components could rub. Photograph your assembled setup to make reassembly easier, and keep a list of tools required for the journey.
For riding with friends, distinguish personal equipment without overcrowding the bicycle. A small Pegatin name-and-flag decal on the top tube is a clean finishing detail. Check spelling and choose contrast with your frame colour. It does not replace the organiser's numbers, timing system or emergency information.
Personalise before NOVA Eroica Buonconvento 2027
Use the design preview to check your name, flag and lettering before placing the order. Apply decals only to a suitable clean surface following the supplied instructions. Avoid cables, joins and positions likely to be rubbed by bags. Keep all official event identification visible.
Leave time for production and shipping before departure for Tuscany. Check the delivery information for your destination when ordering, and do not assume express or guaranteed arrival unless it is explicitly offered. Complete personalisation before the final packing day so the trip preparation stays calm and organised.
