This year is a dead duck, fact. If someone is willing to put the effort into negotiations with the organisers, and we're talking some serious effort here, then this ride may take place again in a muted form. Unfortunately we don't have history on our side. The first one interfered with the wheelchair event and last years was so big it pissed everyone off who was trying to keep the route clear. I'd personally make you pay blood to gain permission to ride the course and these guys do this for a living. You may get a half marathon as you could get everyone off the course in time, but I still don't ever think you'll have a mass sprint down The Mall again*. Kind of misses the point somewhat.
Best suggestion right now is for Billy/VB to close the thread and perhaps start a new one for the night ride. Beyond that, arrange any negotiation panel via pm and take it forward away from this thread.
*unless you do it at night.
