  • I did it two years ago on fixed and it was fun.

    There were a few lowpoints though:

    • being the only fixed bike in a group of geared riders. Nasty on the descents, but fun dropping them all on the ascents and hearing them frantically clicking through their gears behind you
    • the arse pain
    • nearly passing out after about 60 miles whilst having a wee due to not having managed to eat dinner
    • arriving at the beach in Dunwich in the pissing rain to find no spare seats in the cafe
    • hearing rain drops plop into my coffee and turn my egg sandwhich even soggier
    • the extra 8 miles after the cafe to my mate's house were the hardest I've ever done

    I'm totally up for it again this year though.
