• I haven't decided if I'm going to bedwet on this or not.

    I confess to being somewhat put off by things like

    "pray for a tailwind", "seriously reconsider your gear choice", "relentless climb", "uphill all the way", and "does anybody have a map"

    That's just the usual forum bullshit. Don't listen to it. It's a very nice route, there'll be decent weather, good company, and a perfectly sustainable pace in the slower group.
