2011-04-16 Sat 9pm - London Marathon Ride

Was great fun last year even getting lost then found then blagging the stewards to let us get to the finishing line... they didn't

We must have been in the same group!

I'd actually be in favour of an earlier start... say 6:15 or 6:30. Lats year a lot of people were stopped from getting to the Mall.

Unless a good pace can be really guaranteed (it can't) then an earlier start is probably a better thing to do.

Late to the game on this discussion, sorry.
IRC, there were 2 groups that didn't finish on time but this was due to an epic fail on sticking to the route. I think we lost about half hour in going the wrong way and doing the same points twice and the Isle of Dogs backwards.

EDIT, and JD's HIYA on the BBC was the highlight.
