Sorry we missed you Ade, we waited a while but were getting cold, the bridge is now in stuck in shadow for the off-season because of the tall trees .
To clarify these rides will now start at 10.30 prompt. The weather is closing in, and a definitive start time means riders won't be hanging around too much.
To quote the Rules:
"Anyone arriving after the stated time of departure should see, far up the road, the lycra-clad asses of Ones-Who-Take Riding-Seriously."
As the organiser I take responsibility for setting the previous trend of slack start times, plus it was often me who was getting there late, but no more!!

I think every set of traffic lights/pedestrian crossing changed to red when I got within 100 metres so got to bridge at 10:40

I bet Rob Nicholls had got to the bridge 2 hours early as usual
