Definitely want to go for fixed again next year.
I really enjoyed the simplistic struggle against the hill, mentally it felt more like running (something I'm more used to). My legs feel fine, and I dont think I've done my knees any harm. I am going to hunt for a 24T cog. I dont really want to have to swap crankset (and possibly BB) for a couple of hours ride. The main difference will be preparation. having a baby of only a few weeks, and a 3yo, has meant few training hours and even less sleep.
Two things that suprised me somewhat (although not news to most):-
1) Veloflex tyres seem cope with anything (see pic of conditions)!
2) I have no aches or pains (unlike most). I put this down to bike fit/set-up.
