My report:
The day started badly as I overslept (set the alarm but forgot to turn it ON). I managed to get to get to Knockholt by 9:15 but cycled faster than I should have to get there. Was put in a group starting at 10:00. But the ride went reasonably well. My time was 4:33 - not great, but respectable I guess considering the number of hills on the ride and the fact that I'm still only just getting my feet wet with this sportive thing. It was my first ride on my new geared bike (my first geared road bike) and I was happy with it. With the ride plus the journey to and from Knockholt my mileage for the day was just under 100 miles which is the furthest I've ever gone in a day. Really nice weather.
