8 to 8.30
What happens is this. The ride keeps more or less together going down to Greenhithe, and then gets spread out, but collects (as in the front riders wait for those at the back) at Gravesend and points east - every three to five miles or so.
Which means that, effectively, we travel at the speed of the slowest. Those of us who want a bit of a burn-up can do some wayfinding - which means coming to the front, and being assigned a junction, at which the wayfinder stands pointing the way, until the Tail End Charlies come along and release him or her. But, as I say, we travel at the speed of the slowest until........leaving Faversham you're let off the leash and you can shoot off to the Waterfront Club in Whitstable as fast as you want. That spreads out the queue for brekky by about 20 minutes. Although some of us do a bit of sheep-spotting. Except there are no sheep. Only cows.
