It's a BIG charity ride. As with the London/Brighton rides of old it causes significant traffic disruption with roads closed etc.
Like the L2B, some regard it as a competition and are going for best timings etc. Others just want a good ride and very significant proportion lack the observational and bike handling skills needed in a large group.
Daughter and her now husband did it a couple of times. After second go they decided game not worth candle; too risky and too much time having to push 'cos it ground to a halt.
