Cyclosportives
Cyclosportives have become very popular in recent years. These are usually
well organised rides over varying distances that can be ridden very
competitively against other riders or you can ride them at your own pace,
it's up to you. Entry fees generally include drinks and food on route and a
meal and drink at the end. Your bike is tagged so you get an accurate time
and finishing position and most sportives offer mechanical backup and
support. Many sportives are money raising events for for charities.
