Yup! Had yet to be converted to fixed at that point, however I bought my Langster of a friend a fortnight after I got back.
You will definately need gears. Some of those hills are nasty, and you won't be able freewheel on the downhills (at one point after what seemed like 3 hours of uphill, I finally hit the top and looked out over a HUGE valley with a ?mile? long downhill. I hit 46mph).
