Just booked up my very first sportive the "Circuit of Kent" and have gone for the 130km longer route.
I usually do about 140mile per week commuting at a reasonable pace that includes a longer ride on the Saturday with Sunday as my rest day.
I usually feel fine after my 40-50mile weekend rides but may need to put in a few more longer rides over the next few weeks to get up to speed, any tips re on ride nutrition/hydration would be really helpful.
Looking forward to the challenge but a little apprehensive as its quite a long ride!
