You don't need a license for sportives.

wooo

 

[Will1985]

should do a sportive
they're like a race but not as 'full-on' (so i gather)

Pretty much - everyone is a winner! Sometimes clubs will enter en masse and treat it as a fast ride with a very organised race speed chain gang.

Bonj, you doing the Great Notts Bike ride sportive? Ill probably be doing it again, only 75 miles though i think, maybe abit more, but its not bad.
You dont need a licence for them, when i did GNBR last year(so called 100 miles, but it was 85miles i think, classed as a sportive) they didnt ask you for a racing licence.
Main problem with road races is i would have to use gears though ofcourse, and i dont really like looking like a poncey roadie with gears

forest town in mansfield apparently according to Joe.
but I'm not sure whether it actually IS a cycling track or just something that joe thinks is a cycling track..

 

[Dave5N]

Forest Town.

Calshot's great. Short and tight. Try an outdoor track if you can. Less to worry about.

I loved calshot....somewhere like the mountbatten centre doesn't really have the same appeal :S

 

[Dave5N]

No. I know what you mean. The Portsmouth track is too long and shallow. Does'nt really encourage the track disciplines.

It was a wooo/wooot/woop in delight that I would not have to fork out £70 odd for a licsense for sportives.
