It's not the hold-ups I'm surprised or concerned about, it's the fact that the course has been shortened 3 years in succession.
I've done more than the full distance (2013 when the very first wave was directed the wrong way) then 87 miles (2014 with the rain, which I think was a very sensible decision), then full distance in both 2015 and 2016.
As has been said, early start and the road is fairly open (despite what looked a nasty crash at the very first underpass this year with four people on the deck), later on and there is an inevitable choke point that is eventually reached.
