Family friendly sportive or ride

I'm on the look out for a family friendly sportive type event, but I'm not sure they exist!
Our two children (5 & 4) are both on a trailer bike now and love going out for a ride with Mum & Dad. They will happily do a 20 mile ride, and maybe a little bith further if we had a nice stop for lunch in the middle!
While we go and find our own routes it would be great if there was an organised ride/sportive we go do. But one which was suited to families i.e. shorter routes. We did a 20 mile charity ride for my sons school today with about 600 riders involved and the kids loved being part of a big ride.
Anyone have any suggestions or places to look?

I'm still new to this sportive lark, but the Evans Ride It! series offer fun rides which would seem suitable from what you describe.
They are about 15 milers I think. Quite cheap too, but then you don't get a t-shirt at the end of it. Maybe you could just buy one for the kids anyway!
I don't know if I'm allowed to post links, but googling it should bring it to the top of the list.
Have a nice summer riding with the family.0
