Further to my question re fixed - I did it all on 49/18 - mid 70s, which was really actually ok. The little climb after the feed stop was probably the hardest, really grinding up there, but I think it was cause i was so cold at that point. Everything else was fine - attacking hills was great fun, infact, fixed probably helped with the tiredness letting the bike carry my legs along at points.
Who was the chap riding brakeless that I met about 75 / 80 in? We were discussing back pain caused by riding so far on risers and not being able to work out when to slow down in the dark!
One other thing - how annoying are traffic lights now your back in London?!
