Leaving lateish (around 9pm) definitely makes the first stretch nicer.
Yeah, I thought that too - plus I ended up arriving at the beach a bit early so shifting the whole thing by a good hour wouldn't hurt in any way.
Talking about hurting, I now know which bibs absolutely do not work for me past the 100km mark.

Noticed this too, 99% road bikes. Was on a SS with big tyres and loved it, was perfect for the DD. Otherwise a pleasant but pretty unremarkable ride. Only annoyances were my friend's BB clicking away for the entire 200km, and managing to get lost in exactly the same place as last time, but detouring via Stowmarket wasn't really an issue.
