Descending's one of those skills that improves with practice. TBH, people probably hit max speeds last night similar to those they'll get in Surrey; except in Surrey, you'll need judicious 'feathering' of the brakes.
And, as ever, people will be expected to point out potholes (or verbally alert other riders), particularly if they're on the front of a group or sub-group.
