My bike now has a 3-4mm Tuscan "patina" all over!
No mechanicals, no walking, 209 km completed in daylight - all my ambitions achieved!
Actually the weather in the afternoon was pretty nice and I was glad to get full value out of my old jersey (which is my best bit of vintage kit - it's really vibrant purple with yellow writing and bits), though by that time it had stretched almost to my knees...
Also, incredible quantity of souvenirs. Has anybody drunk the wine yet?
