Very happy to give you personalised directions. :)
As I said further up, there are mainly two junctions where people can ride past it.
Very little litter at the food stop, too. Some tables were left a bit messy, but nothing major.
I stood at the junction of Prayor's Hill and Wethersfield Road in Sible Hedingham for a while to give people directions and was surprised by how many rode without lights, too. I suppose that works (for them) as long as they can hang on to a well-lit group, but if they lose touch is probably a problem (for them). Then again, I counted the seconds between groups and the most I ever got up to was eleven seconds. 'Thick and fast' (in relation to how quickly groups were arriving, you understand, not in relation to riders :) ) would be an understatement.
Definitely some great bike decorations, too, in the 45-minute window in which I witnessed the stream of riders.
