...and the bloke dressed as a baboon having a day out.
I wasn't dressed as a baboon... I just happen to have a massive red arse, OK?

Think London Marathon. Paula Radcliffe racing everyone, me racing myself and the bloke dressed as a baboon having a day out.
Depends on what's in the drinks.Not quite but I swore I'd retire if I ever got overtaken by a bloke carrying a tray of drinks.

Sportives, or sportifs, started on the continent and are most definitely raced over there. Some ex-pros make a decent income out of them too, but that doesn't stop the vast majority of participants doing them either as a personal challenge or a day out.

Ok. So the individual cyclist in the Sportive decides if it's a day out, a personal challenge or a bit of a race. I get that and it seems reasonable.
But, if someone like the attractive lady in the CA article says she came 7th fastest women and beat most of the men she's assuming and the article is confirming that it is some kind of race. I think the article should have included a caveat stating that some of the people she "beat" were just on a day out or just testing themselves.
And I'm not bothered because it's a women, I always have a smile and a wink for nice young ladies.
is it better or worse because you consider her attractive?
I got beat by a bloke dressed as a snowman in a 10k race once![]()
He was really fast, man!

Her comment at the end? "At least I beat the bloke in the banana costume!". Forget winning, PB on a tough course, etc. Banana whipped, so happy!
