I'm threatening myself with a fixed gear 200k this winter. It will be about 2x my longest fixed ride. The route is ~7,800ft elevation gain.
I know folks do much bigger rides fixed, but I'm curious about experience from people who do big rides fixed. Any thoughts or experience to share?
Honestly there is little difference, in fact I find it easier in some respects as less mech worries and more evenly paced. It is more difficult to group ride, but I just let everyone know that I'll be rear gunner and yo-yo on and off.
