Not when there aren't diginitaries, athletes and insanely high-security around.
The CM ride was a bit like going up to a protective mother and from the mother's perception threatening the child. Now the child has grown up and left the roost, the mother can be approached with less fear of an over-protective reaction.
And it wouldn't need to be dramatic... get a load of press down and co-ordinate a "Let us use our legacy" headline (everyone must learn that phrase and say it at every opportunity). Push a few Herne Hill riders to the front, get Velo Londres and other clubs to be there too... LFGSS only at the back to swell numbers.
Basically... why can't we use it? Seriously, why can't we?
