I can vouch for early(ish) starts. I left the house at 7:45am yesterday (Sunday) and there was hardly anything on the roads - no cars, wagons or bikes. A perfect, leisurely run to Bala, green lights all the way and I was at the lake café by 9:25. Just one forlorn bike cop with a speed gun by the Texaco garage on the road to Bala, you could see him half a mile away.
