I did this morning. Won't be doing it going home, trust me. Took 2 hours for a ride that normally would take 30mins tops. Did it on a hardtail MTB, pulled the clipless and went with BMX platforms which was the wisest part of the trip.
Honestly? I did it just so that I could say I did, and to keep my street cred up at the office

There wasn't anything pleasurable about it after the first 20 minutes or so.
