I did it fixed last year (for the first time) and loved it. The only steep hill is very short (in Finchingfield) and all the others are perfectly fine on a standard road gear of about 70". One long descent to Sudbury with traffic lights at the bottom, and obviously you have to hold back on some of the descents, but it's all perfectly fine. As with a road bike, you have to stop when you reach the water.
(Also talking about the route, I know there isn't 'the one' and I've seen a few, which one is the most 'official' one, anyone got a link?)
I really wouldn't worry about that too much. As others have said, you'll be led along (see what I did there?), and you can pick up a route sheet at the start. Obviously, forget GPS and all that nonsense.

Fixed is easy, no real hills
The long downhill is a bit annoying

What's people's experience doing this fixed? The route doesn't look very hilly but I suppose it does add up over time...
