Rode in my first sportive event yesterday 'le tour de staveley'. Enjoyed it but found it hard work at times. 50 mile and 4300ft so quite bumpy. It took me about 3 hrs 30 which I was happy enough with. Thinking of doing a 90 mile one in September. Maybe biting off more than I can chew but only one way to find out! Had cyclocross tyres but thinking of changing to slicks for next time.
