Sportive question.

[drivin_me_nuts]

I've got the bug for this cycling thing bigtime. I'm entered for the L2B in a few weeks and have been preparing accordingly. Surfing the net today I saw there is a wiggle sportive called the Haywards heath howler in august. Now, this would be my first attempt at such a thing and I'd be doing the easy route.

So why this post?

I would really like some feedback on required fitness levels etc. At the moment I cycle 25 miles every other day and my fitness is improving all the time. To do a 40 sportive and just finish... What should I be aiming for cfitness wise.

This is all new to me and any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

DMN

Thanaks for all your replies. The reason for my concern when compared to the L2B was more to do with the fact that the L2B is pretty much a nags day out in comparrison. having never done a sportive and planning to turn up on nothing more than a hybrid, I was a smidge nervous of being able to finish. Glad to read it's not too hilly - very much a novice and learning slowly what i'm good at and what needs work (answer: not a lot, pretty much everything!)

I shall pay my sovs and enter.

Thanks all
