If that's a fitness rather than scheduling-related comment, I think the ride will be split into a steady group and a faster group on the day, with a regroup for lunch at the H Cafe and of course back in the pub/train beers. It's very possible that Jeff (aka Old Git) from the original ride 9 years ago will be joining us for this year's ride, and if so he'll be a solid contribution to the steady group.
Cool, Jeff was on the one I was on in 2010, too. If he'll be in the steady group, I'll have a bit of a struggle to hang on to that, but it will have a bit of a training effect. :)
