It's do-able, but you'd really have to push. When I did this course during Flamme Rogue back in January, I got to what would be our finish line in 51 minutes.
Now I'm a low-C and I wasn't going flat out - mainly because we still had 12 more miles to go including another climb of Titans, so I needed to hold back some energy, plus I'd already done two tough stages in the days beforehand. But at the same time I had a large pack of people to draft off of on the flat parts, which obviously we won't get Tuesday.

Hm, it may be mighty close. It's what? 33k, @steverob? At 40kph average that would take us just under 50 minutes.

The fastest times of those who've signed up according to Strava are 46 minutes for @mjd1988 and 47 minutes for @Peter Salt. The course is very flat apart from Titans Grove, so those times are probably highly affected by ability to draft others.
Would anyone have an objection to starting the event ten minutes earlier? Won't make any changes unless I get ALL to agree though.

I'd think we would ... but if you have the time, could be worth doing it for 45 mins and seeing ... @mjd1988 and I need someone to wheel suck .. we're not used to being at the front, we'll just get confused!!

I think it’d be okay at 7 - it’s just a matter of getting back to pick up my son from Cubs at 8! But they normally turn the kids out a few minutes late anyway. It takes about 12 minutes to get into town!
Just turn up in sweaty lycra shorts, you'll cause a hoo ha 😁

Living in the future, I sure wouldn’t mind starting 10 minutes earlier…
Just the one lump of about 120 seconds to get over tomorrow Steen, for you and @CXRAndy ... could be a big group getting to the final sprint

So we are going up Titans Grove Forward, which is longer but less steep?
I think us fatties should formulate a pack to work together if we get distanced. I expect Legs, Pete, Carl and Alex to put the hammer down for maximum pain. We might be able to TTT back on to leaders if we work well together.

Are TT bikes allowed?
Just kidding.
Maybe 😄
