I'm planning on going (didn't yesterday). Think the route from Coulsdon would be about 25-30 miles, but I don't really know the way.
What I usually do is take the train from East Croydon to Victoria (20 minutes-ish), then ride the easy route to Hillingdon (along Uxbridge road, about 13 miles / 50 minutes), If you time it right you don't even have to do a warm up when you get there (unlike most of the guys there applying warming oil to their legs!).
If the weather is nice enough I could be up for getting there in time to watch Stu, John and Paul (or have you quit now you have your points Paul?).
And there's got to be a few hints and tips in the various reports from Hillingdon!
