You start and finish at The Etihad stadium. So no reason why you couldn't say meet at the ramp up towards the registration/start area.

I'm not sure if they'll allow you to complete the ride together if you're doing the 52 and your wife & son are doing the 23, the 52 starts at 8.00 and the 23 starts at 11.30. I'm sure someone might correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 52 milers have to be starting their 4th lap before the 23s start.

I'd guess you could do the 52 and then do the 23 as a new entrant?

After we'd done our laps last year, we rode back down the route to get home since all the other roads in MCR were jammed with the diverted cars 
. No-one attempted to stop us.
On that basis, I reckon that you'll be OK.
I'm possibly going to do something similar since some friends are doing 2 laps and I'm thinking about joining them.

Mine's arrived: 2082
Also, I've BC membership and can organise my priority start on the morning.
Are others doing the same or do I start early and wait for the CC train to pass so I can draft on the back?
Oh, and I'll be in my CC jersey.

That'll do, if you can get me a sub 3:30 beers are free...

You should be well under that; it's mostly flat and 3:30 is <15mph average.

I believe you'll average more than what you normally do, because it's mostly flat, you don't have to worry about traffic lights and if you get behind some faster cyclists they'll drag you along.
