weather forecast is far enough away to change ...the heavy rain bit anyway

used to be the Nags Head Rob...probably still is but I don't live in Reading.  Its the pub at the bottom of the hill?

As Stevie said the support can get a little overwhelming.  Around mile 8/9 up near the park the spectators tend to come onto the road a bit.  Gets a little narrow along there 

probably should have couched the slowish start comment to include anyone in Red zone backwards.  Even for the 1.30 to 1.40 guys the start can be a little crowded but not too bad.  The yellows and front of red are probably fine

pack just landed through the post.

bb - start can be slow/crowded for first mile or so. Hill as mentioned by a few just after 2 miles but not that long....then downhill into town.  The last couple of miles can be tough along the dual carriageway but you head downhill onto it and you can just keep going.
