Col, may I suggest that you act as a "shepherd" on the day. The media will be interested in doing two things: gathering vox pops and "expert" comment. The former will take care of itself, but as Camp Mother you should advise people at the pre-ride briefing that just because media may approach them for comment doesn't mean that they have to provide any. If you do a quick stocktake of what "experts" are on hand and willing to comment, you can then steer media people in the right direction. A bit of cooperation goes a long way when dealing with our friends from the fourth estate.
"Standing on your mother's corpse you told me that you'd wait forever." [Bryan Adams: Summer of 69]
