been thinking about the whole fixed/ss question for this ride.
daily ascents over two days look like so:
bath to barnstaple - 2460 meters
barnstaple to penzance - 1951 meters
not so bad but i think if you're thinking about riding it fixed its worth asking yourself if you really feel you can keep pace with people running gears who frequently put in 150 miles plus at the weekends. some will have no problem while others might struggle. please just mentally run a realistic assement of your strength/fitness and weekly mileage before commiting to doing this fixed or ss.
