enough fixed Audaxing will change your perception of what is "too hilly to ride fixed".
That's already been happening as I have been doing longer and longer rides on it, and taking it out in the hills near me, usually only 60-70km on hilly solo rides so far though.
The other consideration is I need to ride all my bikes so I can justify keeping them! I've been nearly solely on the fixed or the MTB for the last month, with one road bike ride thrown in because the fixed was out of action. And in a similar vein to Hippy, my road bike is usually clean meaning when it gets dirty I feel obliged to clean it, whereas the fixed is always a state.

It's a slippery slope, enough fixed Audaxing will change your perception of what is "too hilly to ride fixed".
(I still want to have a go at the [no longer running] Midlander Super Grimpeur on fixed. Ooh, plus the Kernow & South West 600)
