Left about 8pm, got to the beach at about 4.30am. Got dragged along by a mate for last third. Quick breakfast then rode to Norwich - very, very slowly with a power-nap on a bench then in a bus stop. Shattered.
Felt like I missed almost everyone. We were apparently in the first 20 at the food stop (think I recognised you Skully, but wasn't 100%). At the start we set a hell of a pace so barely saw other riders.
Next year I'd like to leave later, ride slower and soak it all up a bit more.
