There is talk that he first 2 miles might be neutralised, with the timing officially starting 2 miles in.
That sounds bizarre. It is a sportive, not a time trial or a race, and since the road is very wide at the start and the waves are staggered, the first two miles aren't more crowded than the rest of the route.

A couple of ride reports and posts on the net mentioned this, but more for the previous ridelondons. They may well have got rid of it.
If my wife is able to start in her second wave, it may work (subject to the timings between waves). If it's poor weather, I'm not sure she would like to start the ride with an additional 40 minute wait in the rain, in addition to the time in the holding pen.

2mi was deemed the distance necessary for some of the triathletes to have clipped in.

There is talk that he first 2 miles might be neutralised, with the timing officially starting 2 miles in. It definitely was the case before, but there is no reference to it the RideLondon page. Anyway know any more about this?
I appreciate they may have got rid of these due to road clogging, but it would be good to know.
