Hiya!

I've just signed up to do my first ever sportive, the Hell of the Marl: http://www.helvanhetmergelland.nl/index.php?pageId=104

Because I'm old and fat and don't get much chance to train I'm doing the 85km option, however, I generally ride distances of 40 - 50km so I think it will be a challenging enough start to the season. I'm also hoping to get onto the 100km Amstel Gold sportive which takes place a couple of weeks later.

As a complete novice I'm looking for any advice regarding riding in sportives. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Steve
