[Closed] Feeling a little underwhelmed by my first sportive...

Did the CX Sportive this morning and just feeling a bit disappointed. What is the point of an event if its not a race? I can't really get my head around it - timing but no indications of how far to go so unless you knew the route (I did) you had no idea of pacing yourself. Yes it was fun chatting to other riders and chasing some down but I can do that any day. And how do they get to charge £18 when there's no land use fees - most people even had to park on public roads. Give me a proper race any day...

For me the purpose of riding Sportifs in this country is to build up to 'proper' ones. Try La Marmotte, a Grand Day Out!
