The personal gratification and ability to tell the 10ish people who might be slightly impressed is enough. Though I wouldn't say no to an extra badge from when I did mine so it can sit in a drawer with all the other badges I've got.

I want to know why there isn't a fixed wheel RRtY award
I'm far too enthusiastic about fixed audax than is good for me. I emailed the fixed wheel challenge organiser this week asking how I can buy a fixed wheel challenge patch. They do exist and I'll be sending my £2 affixed to a piece of cardboard and a SAE shortly.
I also asked if there is a super fixed randonneur patch. There is not. For the good reason that so few people take part that the fixed wheel organiser will be swimming in badges for the next century. I see his point.
As I'm rather enjoying the back and forth I'd be happy to ask him about setting up a RRTY fixed award. I'm pretty sure that no one has ever asked for it before.
It would be great to gauge support for a fixed RRTY or having a badges section for fixed on the Audax UK website. Are all of you fixie audaxers Audax UK members?

I don't think riding organised events as a DIY should count unless you do them fixed.
Joking (kinda)
On an actually serious fixie note I want to know why there isn't a fixed wheel RRtY award. I really think there should be one but 1) I'm not sure how to go about campaigning for one and 2) I am 99% sure I don't have the energy or time right now. Can someone do something about this for me please
I will probably get bored in the school holidays and start emailing the Masters of the Audax Blue Lodge to see how one goes about this though, I can feel it. Have fears it will involve various motions and the AGM :(
