i gotta say, every time ive ridden it theres always bikes at the top, but yesterday, having it all to ourselves, jsut hundreds of tired and happy cyclists, from pros to tubby weekend warriors, all talking and laughing and hydrating and devouring food and sharing the top of the world was awesome awesome awesome. i was freezing but butt off and shivering from the wind but i stayed up top for 45 miuntes, just to soak in what a wonderful scene it was.
