If you want peace of mind with your cars Wilmslow would be a good bet. I would say park at mine but I am North of the border that weekend.

I'm worried about the pace myself aJ TBH. So if we blow we can always ride back together. I am hoping to stick the pace, and people are telling me I'll be fine, but I've only done one ton before, and it included several stops and a lower pace.

It's the distance I'm worried about, I became very unfit when I went university. So I'm trying to regain fitness, but the flu has really messed up my plan.
I'll probably come anyway though, if I cant keep up or get tired early then I'll just loop round, as I said my brothers place is near the start.

I've never done a ton before period, furthest ever is 67miles, so a new one for me.
Does anyone live extremely nearby I can park my car at?

You'll be fine with a ton then, especially in a group.
+1 for parking, although I might just get there early and whack it on the car park.

I did it last year with five stops, the longest at Nantwich (about 20 minutes). My total GPS time was 7:13 but I think if I'm in a group with you guys I can get that under 6 hours. I did the 52-mile Great Manchester Cycle in under three hours. I'd love to ride with you guys although I think a couple of stops are a must, if only to refill with liquids.
I live in Flixton, not far from 400bhp, I have a bike rack so if anyone wants a lift, feel free to drop me a line. I strongly urge anyone considering parking in the park to get there early, the traffic was a nightmare last year and I was 30 minutes late off the start line. A good friend of mine lives in Sale so I may see if she'll let me park at hers, that'll save a lot of bother.
I'll also be filming the ride with my GoPro, I might borrow another so as to have a rear view.

Whereabouts are you Smokey? Could possibly swing round and pick you up and leave the car somewhere nearby?

We need a list of attendees & a start time? worth updating the initial post Fossy?
