You're right, I know plenty of people really enjoyed it. But they probably enjoy prancing about like tropical cocks trying to impress one another. I like riding alone, or in small groups, and with friendly people!
Each to their own I guess. I've done events with 100 odd riders and it was fine. Maybe it's the combo of 800 riders, being a non-race with timing chips (so a race), and almost being on road bikes, so attracts a certain type of rider.

Loved it. :)
I've had fun on sportives before, I've had miserable audaxes that everyone else raves about. Guess it depends on what you expect, what happens and for me, my own fucked up mental state given what I'm trying to do with the ride at the time.
