I also think part of the problem is that the accident that caused the big stoppage was at what felt like one of the more remote sections and also the closest the route got to feeling like a proper small country lane. That meant that getting to the injured bloke and then getting him out of there looked tricky – we got held up for at least an hour there and all of us had to squeeze to the left at various points just to let steward/paramedic motorbikes through.
The conclusion the organisers might make from this is to keep the route to the bigger A-roads, which would be sad as after miles of suburbia flashing by it was quite nice to be out in the sticks for a bit...
