    I think I'll give this one a bash. The start line isn't far from where I live either.

    I only managed one wrong turn last year - and corrected it. I suspect that many didn't and so cut the route short, unintentionally.

    Just hope it's less windy!

    Looks like the organisers have brought it forward this year to get better weather.

    The wind made it tough last year but it was a great ride.

    Found the Youtube clip from last year, sounds like Gattling gun.
