not sure what time we finished but we were in the cafe roundabout 8 ish
I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself there as the second lot that started from Tower Bridge didn't start until 8! I reckon we got to the cafe around 9-9:30 ish. I think the greasy spoon should be chosen by someone other than Corny this year though - I want warm beans!
Do we really have to start so early? I mean, I know it's meant to be traditional for cyclists to be early risers but, going by track record of forum members, I think we've evolved! Did the earlier guys start at 7am from Blackheath last year?

We ended up leaving about 7.15-30 last time, this might have been a little late as we got stopped a couple of times by police and told to get off the course, even disrupting the start of one of the wheelchair races. An earlier start would mean me would avoid most of this and get to sprint down the mall! 6 might be a bit early though, I dunno...

Earlier the better.
I felt a bit bad rolling up on the wheelchair crew and some of our guys trying to get round them and keep going.- coppiThat

This was great last year - one of the wheelchair racers was shouting at us that we had 10 minutes and go for it! Class.
I'm on for a 6.30/45 departure if that what it takes to make it around.

Haha! Glad people are getting off their arses and organising more rides!
The only problem with starting so early is that the course won't actually be set out yet. I remember last year that we had to guess some of it because it was stll open to all road users and not yet closed off. I'm not sure what time they start setting up and closing the roads.

by popular demand going to make the actual start time 6.40 this slightly later time should still ensure we do the bit of the course we had to miss out because of the over zealous bobby but will still have us arrive with a bit more time before the wheel chair racers set off.
arrive 6.25ish for departing 6.40 sharp -

Most road closed at 7am, some later on at 8.
Elite Women start at 0900
Wheelchairs at 0920
Elite Men at 0945Seriously tempted by this road, sounds like jokes...

Got to be an early start, remember we were already getting grief off the police wanting us off the route on the isle of dogs.
