    There is no ideal pace.

    You can ride them for fun or at a rate of nots..it's up to you. A lot of Sportives will offer bronze, silver or gold awards for certain times but not everyone wants to ride them as fast as possible.

    Personally I do try and go for gold all the time, but I've never done a Sportive of less than 100 miles.

    You could ride at 15 or 25mph...it;s your choice and no-one will care either way.
