Haha! Glad people are getting off their arses and organising more rides!
The only problem with starting so early is that the course won't actually be set out yet. I remember last year that we had to guess some of it because it was stll open to all road users and not yet closed off. I'm not sure what time they start setting up and closing the roads.
Most road closed at 7am, some later on at 8.
Elite Women start at 0900
Wheelchairs at 0920
Elite Men at 0945

Seriously tempted by this road, sounds like jokes...
