I think last year the overall average including stops was ~10mph. The ride is mostly flat (it's Essex, after all) and everyone just rolled along together in a nice group.
The last 15-20 miles (?) was along a single road with no real navigation needed - we fragmented out a bit at that point, everyone going at their own pace.
You ought to be fine - a strong headwind would suck, but it would suck equally as much for everyone else. If it all gets a bit much I'm sure there's the odd train station you can duck out at en route (check the route map - I might be wrong there).
