not sure about doing this fixed. i remember one hill in exmoor i had to go up in 1st in my car a few years ago. i've done brighton and back a few times fixed. no problem on the days but riding the next day(s) wasnt an option as your achilles get pretty ripped up spinning down the hills.
so.....hmmm...guess its each rider's call as to what bike they ride but i'm not convinced fixed or ss will allow you to keep up with geared riders and might leave you less able to ride on day two.
