I am actually finding myself excited about a sportive.
Stage 3 of the Tour. It's a very good looking one (even does some of the HotW route).
Some great climbs in it.
But as it is on closed roads, the descents will be fantastic.
Definitely worth adding to your diaries!
(Not seen how many thousands of pounds it will cost yet, though).
