@pigfarmer - as mentioned upthread, I reckon you should ride earlier. Meet at 7.45am for 8am departure. Then your 4 laps would be complete by 9am. It would cause a natural culling (this is Richmond Park, after all) of riders, but not put off the keen people. Those who prefer to start a little later could be encouraged to head out of town via Kingston/Hampton Court.
Otherwise, you really have to forget about stuff like the sprint for the bridge; or alternatively, have ad hoc sprint 'primes' called by each group leader when you've got a few hundred metres of clear road around you.
