Norwich 100 - Compulsory 30-minute stop?

Just doing a bit of googling as I'm down to ride this one on Saturday.

For what I can see, previous editions have had a compulsory 30 minute stop at the 43-mile point.

I'm a bit miffed by this; I don't want to stop for 30 minutes! Very random.

Does anyone know whether this is in place for this year and whether I can ignore it?

Seems really stupid to me. The instructions don't make any mention of it.
