On Ditchling Beacon yesterday afternoon: 4 (maybe 5) guys riding fixed. Well, I say riding... 3 of them were walking up, the other was already at the top. South African from their accents. At least one Spok in evidence. Looked to be pushing quite big gears but the one I tried to chat to on the way past wasn't very forthcoming when I asked him what ratio, just "too big".
Hope they did the sensible thing and caught the train home... the headwind on the way back was a bitch, would have been really miserable pushing a big gear.
