Just spotted this thread and noticed that the route comes past my front door about 10 miles from the end!
Whilst I'd love to come and play, though, covering 92 miles in 5 hours means an average speed way over what I could hope to achieve with a 46 year old body on a 30 year old bike. I think my main issue is that the engine on my road bike is like the engine on an old British motorbike... it's old, wheezy, underpowered, smokey and drinks too much, along with various leaks of indeterminate source. Full of character, though.
Maybe I'll just have to satisfy myself with waving as you go past.
