I'm doing the DD for the first time and am riding fixed.
I run 52/18 which i think is 74" ratio, I've previously ridden to Southend on this set up with no worries but am thinking perhaps I should gear down a bit for this one?....
Also what sort of lighting do we need for this?
I would say around 70 is ok, but I havent ridden it fixed - so can't fully comment.
Lighting - bring something good - there are lots of unlit country roads. If we're lucky we'll have the moon but don't rely on it.
I have a Hope 1 that was great last year, but any one of the bigger cateyes should be ok, the lighting is more about seeing than being seen (as in London). Bring spare batteries.
