For all those worried about speed, remember that the biggest delays aren't caused by a lower average, but by long stops, e.g. for defects. The actual distances that fast riders might put between them and a slower group aren't that big. I'll happily help with keeping the group together. There will undoubtedly be occasional splits, but we'll regroup, and the aim is to stay as much in one group as possible.
Also: Others will help you along, so unless you're ill or injured, be confident that spells of worry about making it will be momentary. It's a fairly flat ride, it's not that long, we have all day, the days are getting longer, and we'll have a few pints in Cambridge. It'll be enjoyable and sociable!
