I did my first sportive ride yesterday and have to say I loved it. OK, it was only a 50 miler but it's the furthest I've ridden in my 2 months on a road bike and I'm pleased with myself so I'm going to boast!

Add in the fact that I stupidly missed a turning, adding 8 miles, and I had a mechanical (chain came off, jammed the cranks and then couldn't get in the big ring so had to adjust mech) and I feel my time of 3hrs 18mins was a great achievement for me. I'll definately be doing more organised rides in future

Many thanks to Wheels in Wheels CC for organising a fantastic (albeit small) event.
