I don't think I was the only marshal that had severe doubts as to how this was all going to play out. TfL's ruling that we were not to cork traffic, stop at all red's etc. sounded to me like it would split us up into thin spindly whisps. My main concern was that riders who took their bike out of the shen once a year for this, would feel very intimidated in London traffic. - So what do I know? In the end, helped no doubt by the perfect weather, it mostly ran really well. There were bit's (notably Camden) where tweeders had no choice but to weave through heavy traffic, but had we ben corking off in this area it would have caused pandemonium!
Pip-pip to all who helped, and especially to @bruce who, had he been charging by the hour for his time put in, could probably retire now to some splendid castle in the kingdom of Fife
