+1 about the flip-flop, considering doing the same up L'alpe D'Huez this summer or next.
ETA - "From here, the ascent to Mount Dalsnibba starts. This last bit is 5 km on gravel road, and has a climb of 1:8."
Is that do-able fixed? I'd imagine traction would be a problem, one bit of wheelspin and all your momenteum is gone.
