Whilst emailing the Fixed Organiser about points and stuff a few years ago I did mention that I was doing a Fixed RRTY and he made it clear to me that it wasn't a thing which I followed up to confirm I was aware and it was purely a personal goal.
He did add that:
Fixed ARound The Year is not the sort of description likely to be popular even in Audax groups
So if only he could see the fervour here.

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?
