Good luck guys, have done it twice, but wouldnt do it again just too many people.
on fixed the downhills are scary - I'll be impressed if you make it up ditchling, if you're early enough you might get a good run at it, however anything after an 8am start and it will be to crowded with people walking up. I did it geared one year and fixed last year - and enjoyed it much more geared.
