The best bet is to leave a little before the crowd or dead on 6:00 am. If going through the start, get there before 5:30 to be first through the gate, otherwise head off along the course. After a short while, you will be past all the slow riders and only those faster and better will be overtaking. Stay left; stay safe. Don't stop at rest stops - carry enough food and water - it's only 53 miles ffs. You will be down there is no time. Use the closed roads and enjoy the ride.
