I skipped the start line, rode down to tooting and joined there.. much better.
The first two hills were gridlocked (narrow roads), impossible to keep momentum, essentially twice as tiring as they should have been. By the time I got to Ditchling the crowd had thinned out a lot. The descents were FUN!
Fell asleep on the beach, got sunburned, not fun.
The coach and truck system was fast and efficient, very impressed.
