No hand holding, but you could follow me and then be awarded a slower than ginge number when eventually you arrive, a week late.

Unfortunately, the last couple of kilometres of that route follow the circuit[0]. And this year they're (allegedly) using the "original" circuit[1], so a serious bit of detouring could be in order.

You could always meet me at the port and ride in, but since this is not a TOG tour, with all ferry tickets prebooked on the same boat it's highly unlikely we'll see each other before either the hotel or the circuit.
