Agree with suggestions of a 66" to 72" fixed gear. But have a freewhell on the other side to handle mixed terrains with long or fast downhills. These can be unnecessary hard work just when you need a respite from the climbing and you want to relax, sit up a little and take in the landscape. Make sure your brakes are up to stopping you when that truck suddenly crosses your path!
