Sounds great. I was a few hours behind you on a charity ride from Esher to Hove via Devil's Dyke. Out of hundreds of riders - I saw one other fixed and heard of a third. It was great getting the respect for riding it from the other participants.
Rode the whole way apart from about 50 metres at the steepest part of the Devil's Dyke climb. I just couldn't turn those pedals but overall I was really pleased with myself. A hell of a lot more challenging to spin the legs the whole way rather than freewheeling.
Now, time to turn in - I need to be up at 5.30 to get to Bristol for a meeting first thing.
Thankfully I'm not cycling there.
