I just watched it - sorry @Rod_Munch! What a plum I am. At the time I thought that maybe @cgg jumped on the front as we were cutting it close for the train and pub and wanted to ensure it happen you just all pushed along knowing I had the route and my skinsuit. Silly american!
On the plus side Jim without me you wouldn't have got a century, so there are "upsides" to it.

You took the wrong turn about 5 seconds before we realised you'd gone - then kept riding whilst we briefly discussed what to do and emerged half a mile ahead of the chasing pack whilst I went back to look for you. That car behind us meant I hadn't been able to see your light for the whole descent - and I heard you shout something so naturally assumed I was going to have to inform your wife that I'd left you to die in bush and be eaten by badgers if I didn't locate you.
We must have only been about 20 yards apart when everyone started riding in three different directions!
