I did the Kennet Valley Run two years with a guy who had done the Mad Jacks the week before. He was suffering because he was still riding fixed on 50".
If you're prepared to risk a late start then you could do The Dean 300k on 24th March. It comes with 4 AAA points and I can offer good authority that the organiser will be loitering in the Travelodge next to the start for a while in the morning. The first train of the day makes it into Oxford at 6.22 so the worst you're likely to face is 2hrs to make the 45k to the first control on an easy leg. Eminently doable. The originator of this ride does it on fixed and only resorts to about 100m of walking on an off day and still comes in in a respectable time.
