Managed to avoid all the rain although the A10 was a bit of a river. Saw crashes at 30, 40, 85 and 95 miles in. One of the later ones looked particularly bad - elderly pedestrian and at least a couple of riders down.
Riding quality was generally alright for the parts of the event I encountered. Signage was good and marshalls did a decent job.
Didn't suffer from cramp this year, although felt a twinge or two by the time I got to Box Hill.
Didn't see anyone else do it fixed, but saw a couple of single speeds, couple of Moultons, couple of Bromptons, several tandems, a hardtail MTB, a handcycle, recumbent and a Boris Bike. Oh and carbon, lots and lots and lots of carbon.
What time did you start? Relatively late for so many crashes?
I saw some people carrying track pumps on my ride, wasn't surprised to see them come in use though, many a track pump spotted helping a rider in distress

Time to fall asleep on the sofa now, I think.
