Doing Sportive on Hybrid ??????

[Longshot]

I did the Prudential Ride London 100 last year on a Specialized Sirrus Elite hybrid with 28 tyres on. I finished in 7 hours so your goal is easily achievable IMO, speaking as a relatively unfit middle aged guy.

(Edit to say 28mm tyres! I wasn't carrying 26 spare tyres with me, except round my middle)

Please stop replying to the OP. He did (or didn't do) the sportive 18 months ago!


and he's obviously moving on quite happily, as he posted recently....

I'm glad you all have not stopped replying, I needed the answers to the question! I was hoping to get my first road bike for a sportive I want to do next May but it hasn't panned out how I hoped so I am now on my mountain bike that I have put slicks on..... I know I'll be slow but looking forward to it!
