I tried my first couple of Sportives last year and really enjoyed them. I took the approach though of doing them far away from Cheshire to try out some new roads and to get to ride stuff that I dont each week. The Dragon ride in South Wales was good if a little too busy, but the Fred Whitton in the Lakes was so good that Derek and me are doing it again this year! If you enjoy hills (which I believe you do!) its one I definitely recommend and its really well organised too.
You might like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/100-Greatest-Cycling-Climbs-Cyclists/dp/0711231206 - I got it for Christmas, pretty cool little book. You can have a lend if you like.
Got it from Father Christmas myself ta!! Just working my way through it - well will do when the weather warms up!
Well, what a response! Thanks to all of you for your comments and feelings on this subject, much appreciated. I'm glad I asked the question and I'll certainly give the idea of doing a sportive a lot more thought. Thanks again.

Les, I would love to be an independent man and have my own picture and be able to post my own views on the forum but I know my place...Also whenever I try to register I get the message that there is already a registered person on our email address and the bloody thing refuses me access!!! So in the meantime I will continue my transvestite like approach and sneak into my wife's posts.

iPad is a bit big, and you'd look stupid on club runs.
Edge 800 is ace (even nicer than my 705). Program routes, courses and training, and a built in virtual partner so that you can race yourself! What more could you want?
..or you can play Angry Birds on a bigger screen than your iPhone...

You're not helping!!!
