I would love to do my first sportive next year. Luckily for me, there is one setting off in my home town of Ripon at the end of June in 2015. (Anyone here doing or done it???) So, there are 3 different distances to choose from, 102, 77 and 65. I would like advice on which one I should enter...... The 102 to me is a bit like entering a marathon.... The training for it would be (I imagine) very time consuming. I work full time and have a family (who don't understand my cycling addiction!) So committing to it may cause problems. There are also some nasty hills in there and I am a wuss when it comes to big hills! I have only been cycling since July and the furthest I have done so far has been 40 miles, and that took some doing (walking up one of the hills that is in the 103 miler).... Do I bite the bullet and take the flack from my family and commit to the big one or go for the 77? I think the 65 is not so far out of my league as to make it a challenge so I don't fancy that one too much.......
Also, does anyone know of any good training schedules that would help me? I'm not sure of what kind of training I should be doing, apart from doing the miles.......
Thanks!
