Yes, I did it last year single speed. I did two big loops from Camberley. All I will say is that it was fucking cold. Also, single speed was perfect from a rhythm perspective and just being able to switch off mentally, however it wasn't so great in the Cotswold's and Chilterns - obviously.
I spent a lot of time doing 200+km rides last year though so it wasn't actually that bad. Amey, unless you've done a lot of long distance stuff this year... then beware. 500k is no small feat... unless your name is @hippy or @skinny
