To a degree, he has control over that as well. I doubt that there is another cyclist in Britain who has a better knowledge of our road system than Steve does. As he demonstrated on Saturday, he has access to East Anglia, which had lots of big gaps between the centres of population. There should be quite a few roads there which will be flat and not have a lot of traffic on them. It would be the wrong place to go if it's windy, though.
