Presumably the latter isn't obligatory for the female OP
Can you do a sportive on a touring bike?

not obligatory...... just recommended.Presumably the latter isn't obligatory for the female OP
Never been on a sportive but be doing some next year,but I know you can ride whatever bike you have, yes there are some guys that treat it as a race or to get a good time,
but equaly its about the enjoyment of doing it, people of all ages ,shapes and levels of fitness.
Just like the Saturday park runs..you do them on your own terms..clockwatch chasers at the front, steady in the middle and at the back triers(people who enjoy trying be it to get fit or lose a bit of weight
or just to enjoy it..

This includes if your own pace is PDQ. There's a lot of fun to be had cruising past dentistsonpinarellos on a heavy tourer, especially when going uphill.

It's not uncommon for folk to do a sportive on an mtb. A road bike will be fine.

Or actually on the day and time of the sportive itself, or over any of its route.
It is quite funny cycling by as marshalls at a feed station frantically trying to wave you in..

Free bait opportunities are not to be missed.
The only trouble they would have with me is waving me out.

To me this statement now means you should take EPO. And steroids.
