I did this last year. GPS to alleviate navigational woes and a nippy pace. While going whoosh in the night is fun, and so is overtaking however many hundred people there were out, I felt pretty hollow by the time I got to Dunwich. It turns out that for me the fun was in riding with a group of strangers, in the infrequent and non-critical navigational cock-ups, in all the little things you see en-route, and I missed all of it.
This year, doing it for fun.
(or sub 5 hours on the tandem. or on the fixed with aerobars and the disk. still deciding :P)
