Enjoyed my first sportive

[Welsh wheels]

I completed my first sportive last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did the Wiggle Wye Valley Warrior standard route, 73.3 miles and 6,645 feet of climbing. I managed to do it in 5 hours so I was chuffed with that. I was pleased that my training paid off and I didn't find it too hard. The atmosphere was good, the route was well signposted, the feed stations were well stocked and all the staff did a great job. Already itching to do my next one!

It was a lot, but it wasn't too bad because it was nicely spread out over the ride with reasonable gradients except for a few killer climbs near the end.

Kind of them to put the worst until last.
