Just done some maths here, 100miles is 160,934.4m which divided by 20,000 is just over 8 metres space per bicycle, if everyone was to do this single file stretched from start to finish!
At the Etape there were 11,500 riders. The 'peloton' was estimated at 50km long by the local paper.
I set off with 15 people and after around 10k we were all split up. Briefly saw two other people I knew over the rest of the 6 hours.
