Local French Sportives - curious things...
OK, we are all used to big, super organised (sometimes too organised in the UK) but in France you get a lot of small local sportives that pop up in the Summer - no website, no booking in, no route preview, just the odd poster around and you turn up and ride (don`t even think about timing chips...).
Here we have a go at a small local Sportive and as its France, what better vintage bike than Richard Virenques 1992 RMO TVT - its a fine bike and well suited to these roads - went rather well after what happened...
Basically two local cycling teams kind of battled it out - in and offs, high pace, riders getting dropped - turned out to be a lot of fun!

‘I don’t think I’m lost, but I don’t know where I am’. Only an insane optimist comes out with something like that! But you have finished with more or less the group you began with so all is well. Thanks Dan.

That looked like a bit of good fun, fair play for giving the old girl some beans and keeping up with the faster riders!

Great video Dan. As a vintage bike rider in Australia, I would love to see more of these sportive stories. There is something delicious about riding an old steel bike against their more modern carbon brethren. Maybe I'm a just a glutton for punishment! Keep the content and unique format going.

Sounds like a good idea to me - prices for regular good vintage bikes are really low at the moment - nothing to stop you, Dan
