I got away bang on 0800, came in at 1730, but spent very little time at controls <30mins total I would say.
No 24" for me, but I've only been riding AAA events chasing SFW, so it felt quite flat and comfortable. I was tired from spinning out too much though.
I'm gonna be riding the perm version relatively soon, as I got a brevet just in case my work rota couldn't be changed and I couldn't ride the calendar. I'll probably ride 65 or 68 next time, as having never ridden any of these particular hills except Coombe Lane, I didn't know how tough they would be.
Didn't see anyone else on fixed all day but sounds like you were well ahead of me - I got roped into handing out cards, so left about 0820 and then just got slower ...
64in for me (and 24in on the Beacon, Tongdean, Coombe ... I am fat and unfit).
