Ok so we are all aware that a sportive is "not a race" but as this one is held on closed roads I can imagine that the majority of riders will at least be looking for a personal best, and not just taking in the scenery. As I'm a recumbent trike rider I have concerns about congestion on fast descents. So if anyone who has participated in this event and can give me some insight into the approach adopted by the majority of the field that would be appreciated.
