The 30 we keep sensibly flat, the 60 has some challenging hills and the 90 is generally as tough as we can make it! If you’re pushing yourself then we suggest to not massively go over the distance and climbing that you have accomplished before. We work to have 3 route distances of roughly 30, 60 and 90 miles in each Sportive. We see people who were strangers hugging it out on the finish line after dragging each other through a tough day!Īll our events get good Facebook coverage so feel free to post comments and ask questions as you’ll always get a response and might start to make some friends already! Which Distance? Entering as a group is great if you’ve got that option as the pre and post-event banter is great, however, equally if you’re riding alone you’ll be amongst a lot of other friendly people who are all keen to chat and look after each other. So we suggest that you choose an event that explores somewhere new and doesn’t cross the roads you regularly ride on. Perhaps you’re entering as a part of a group so this is already concluded however if you are in the position to choose then there are a few things to consider when selecting an event.įor us, one of the beauties of Sportive riding is that you get to explore a new area with the comfort and confidence that you’ll be well looked after and don’t need to spend the rest of time researching the area, studying maps, planning the lunch stops etc! The guide is aimed at people who are new to the Sport however more experienced riders might also find it useful. A lot of riders enjoy their first Sportive with Velo29 so we want to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
We’ve put together this short guide for people new to Sportives. Velo29 – A Beginner’s Guide to Sportive Riding (updated October 22)
