Only thing I need to decide is clipless like normal or if there is lots of traffic and stop n go riding I might throw a set of flats on. Don’t want to but can see where masses of people it could be better.

Once you reach the top of the hill you will be rewarded with a great view of the river valley, and some snacks.
Edit:
All of the roads are completely shut down for this event. ( except for the portion along Summit Ave.) there will be very little stopping. Each intersection has a police officer directing traffic.
Thanks for the insights guys! Love the avatar sdmc, and that sounds great! Glad to hear it isn't too crazy. MNTonka - My friend was just telling me about the infamous Ramsey hill. I'll have to go scout it out to see if I should bother
Thanks again, sure i'll be there on my mountain bike putting around!
