@STE5 - I wouldn't want to deprive you of opportunities to practise high speed bike handling skills with a freewheel, now that you're racing. Fixed would be good if you're intending to do any TTs though - and you do road race like a tester (not a criticism, just an observation based on positioning and cadence).
@purple_mj/Sasmon - I thought I noticed some diffusion going on. I have vague memories of following a warm red glow up Leith Hill :)
@pajamas - what were you riding? 46x18? 46x19 would be absofuckinglovely for that route, at the typical TNRC pace; and I'd say that last night was ever so slightly faster than typical TNRC pace, but not enough to make 64" impractical. It sort of depends whether you think you've got more room for improvement in your lungs, or in your legs/(arms). You seemed to be going along fine though - bet you're glad you got cyber-bullied into it now :)
