I'm pleased to see you want to revive this event.
I'll be happy to give any help I can, but I'm not going to ride (short of a miracle of improved fitness) and I don't want to put myself forward as organiser.
I can certainly give details of the route that was used last time, and I may be able to come as photographer and reporter. I may also be able to encourage a couple of Hounslow riders to go.
As to the 'fixed' question it was my original intention that it should be at least a single gear event - as far as I can remember on the very first ride, that's to say the 1959 edition, there was one rider on single free and the rest on fixed. However, it's always hard to turn some one away because they haven't got the right kit, so I don't think this should be rigorously enforced.
