Rode with some colleagues from work, setting off around 9.00 and taking it pretty easy, mostly riding together. There were some truly epic tailbacks which went on for what felt like hours (see pic), but it was reasonably free-flowing for the rest of the ride. Made it up Ditchling (48x19 fixed), at about 0.2mph and a cadence of 0.00000001rpm - pretty tough.
Would do it again next year, but would start early and not stop.
NB the view in front was the same as the view behind at this point
