265km from memory. I did it last year. We also cycled back to the campsite from the finish which was a stupid idea, so ended up doing over 300km including some riding the wrong way on the hard shoulder of the motorway in the dark. With no lights.
Did P-R this year, it was my write up on the Dulwich forum 6pt would have read.

Point taken hippy but he was static in the left lane going in the same direction as me on a two lane road, while I was in a clear right hand lane which also was for traffic going straight ahead - no right turn allowed. I was only there in the first place as he had filled the marked bike lane next to the kerb.
I was up and running having come through the green lights further back whilst he was at the red up ahead which always changes in sequence, about 20 seconds later. He had no need to change lane when he did, particularly if he could see I was right next to him, and he certainly had no need to run me into the middle of the road and hover on my shoulder - by which I mean I could practically feel the air flow around the front corner of the coach - making sure I could not get out of that position.

I had first hand experience of a Redwing/Addison Lee coach's attitude towards cyclists this morning heading NW past Oval tube. I was overtaking at a fair speed in the right lane as he was slowly pulling away from the lights (better there than the left side at that junction!) and as I got level with the drivers window he pulled across and sandwiched me into the centre of the road with his front-wing-mounted Addison Lee logo in my face and kept me there as he was about 1cm from my shoulder. I couldn't go across or retreat with him in that position.
He made no attempt to get past or to let me pass across to the inside, instead devoting his full attention to trying to flatten me until we were about halfway around the Oval and I managed to get away. I didn't react as I don't want him to hate cyclists even more but that was scary.
I love the whole AL group.
