I'll be there again - perhaps on a geared Pogliaghi again.
I rode ss in 2005, fixed in 2006 and geared in 2008 and although I was unfit in 2008 it was a much faster ride. My friend and I got to the cafe about 5th/6th; having spotted a small group of red lights ahead of us a couple of miles shy of the coast we did a full-pelt two-up TT style ride over the heath and so nearly caught them on the last couple of bends before the beach. The cafe owner was complaining bitterly (happily really, I suspect) about how early people were arriving.
