I did it for the first time this year, with a group of colleagues from work. Two of us were riding fixed, me on my On One Macinato and one of my clerks on a Dolan Pre Cursa. I made it up Ditchling Beacon without walking, he didn't. Mwahahahaha...
The congestion was appalling though. Out of London it was bad (a 20 minute wait at one set of lights) but at one of the sets of lights they'd installed for the ride there was a 40 minute traffic jam of bicycles, stretching as far as the eye could see, with riders shuffling forwards 10 feet at a time. If I do it again I'm setting off in an earlier group.
