Probably, if this lurgy doesn't worsen. I've entered anyway, but have had last minute doubts about riding it fixed again, so might use gears if I can quickly learn how to use them in that context :S
I've booked some time off work to go and experiment tomorrow morning...
I reckon Bec is ok on fixed (though I rode gears when I had the choice!) so long as you back off a bit in the middle section. The Catford on the other hand... I don't see a way of not being under-geared at the bottom and over geared at the top given that the gradient increases so much.
