I just had a look at the Comm games website where they provided a nice profile of the TT course, it looks pretty flat, even the "hills" - so I guess if you are a weekend warrior out for maximum poseur value, a flat road is good 'coz you can cycle relatively quickly and look good.
One of the commentators mentioned 2000+ people cycle on Beach Rd each Sat and Sun, sounds bloody crowded to me.
