Hiya!
With regards to groups and speed, it will only be split in two groups if there are enough numbers, will and backdrops to make it worthwhile. Steady group will be about 14-15mph, faster group I guess 16mph plus (if they work well together). See the route below. Consider that it will be cold, you will be fixed/SS and it's 90 miles going through the Chilterns (twice). It's not near central London bailout points and light is still scarce that time of year. These are things to consider for yourself and the group you are riding with. I'm more than happy to have anyone who fancies along for it. However, last year we rode as one group and a rider was asked to find his own way back as he wasnt able to maintain the group pace. In nicer conditions that's not how I prefer to run a ride, but in winter at 4 degrees in fading light with the threat of punctures, you need to be self-sufficient and sensible if things aren't going your way. 10-15 people's warmth and ride (and train tickets) depend on it.
