Brevet start times are scheduled by the organizers. Or is this an informal 400k ride, not a brevet?
I wouldn't want to start such a ride severely sleep deprived, because a 400k is going to take most people at least 20-24 hours as it is.
I'd think an early morning start would be best. Why did you start a 200k at 2am? Seems unnecessarily unpleasant.
