Agree with what you say and well doneI did my first sportive at the weekend. It was a 113 miles with nearly 8000 feet of accent. I averaged 14.5 mph. Really chuffed with that for me! Been riding now for about 4 to 5 years. Best thing I’ve ever done,really good stress buster.
I'm not a fan of tubeless on a road bike.Did Bike Bath yesterday, a week of harvest and midnight finishes didn’t help, was a little tired at the start.

3 punctures in the 1st 10 miles almost made me pack in, a nice chap gave me another tube. Tubeless caused me problems for the 1st time. Was a good route with plenty of climbing, some narrow lanes, gravel and a trip round the Bath sights.

I had a gash in the sidewall on a 38mm tyre that I got near @Boysground's place. Sealed itself till my next ride when I had to put a tube in. Used a Panaracer tubeless repair kit with a little strip of rubber and plenty of vulcanising solution and it's been fine since - just like fixing a quad tyre on the farm.Do any of you tubeless riders carry a tyre repair kit (basically a dart that pushes a small piece of rubber through the hole)? I have one but thankfully haven’t had to use it. I just wondered how effective they are.
That’s a great challenge, good luck and post some photos when you get back.I had a gash in the sidewall on a 38mm tyre that I got near @Boysground's place.

Currently in the Alps about to start a 4 day charity ride on 32mm tyres, and my front valve is misbehaving a bit... I have a tube, but I really don't want the weight penalty with 12000m of climbing coming up.
ETA: won't be carrying the kit with me, but have it here in case I need it. Will have a tube on me at all times, and a good old puncture repair kit.
I should add that 28c tyre tubeless with 80psi is a lovely comfortable ride

Those pressures! It must be like riding a jelly!Yes I’m riding 28s probably at about 65 psi on my road bike, very nice ride.
Day one complete. Was fairly tough. https://strava.app.link/kx4LyUuU1ibThat’s a great challenge, good luck and post some photos when you get back.
