On topic again: I went out and ran the route today, since I hadn't done it in a while. The roads are in good shape, and there was little traffic. There are a couple of pretty serious curves that tend to have a little gravel around them, but I know where they are and can throw up a signal to take it slow.
And no, no reason to leave anyone behind. Even if a few folks are running the curves a bit faster than others, we can just slow down on the straights, or stop and wait at the next turn. I'm a big believer in riding at your own pace, and ensuring that no one feels pressured to ride outside their comfort zone.
Really looking forward to meeting everyone.
