Flattest Possible 300 out of Bethersden is a good one for fixed. It was my first fixed 300. It's not completely flat (it does go up to Frant, and also along the B2082 from Rye to Tenterden) but there are long stretches of flat through Romney Marsh and along the A259 by the coast. It's also easy to get to/from on the train (despite the 2am start).
Mine is either a 621km DIY 600 Audax (Putney, Cambridge, Putney, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Bethersden and then the Flattest Possible 300 Audax) in about 38 hours. Longest time off the bike was only about an hour.
Or a 3-day 750km ride from Putney to North Berwick via Cheshunt, Gamlingay, Bourne, Lincoln, Thorne, Coxwold, Middleton Tyas, Yad Moss, Alston, Canonbie, Langholm, Eskdalemuir, Innerleithen, Dalkeith. Did have about 6 hours sleep each evening though.
In May this year it should be a small ride from Chepstow up to Menai and back (it should be just longer than 621km with the ride to/from the start from the hotel).
In July this year I hope to push it up to 1400km by going from London up to Edinburgh and back. :)
