I'm just in the process of training for a sort of touring/endurance ride on fixed.
The original plan was three of us entering the London to Brussels 24hr ride at the end of August and riding it fixed. However, two big issues in 2 days stopped that... the first was one of the three falling off his bike in training and breaking both his hip and his shoulder, the second was the organisers cancelling the L2B24 due to insufficient participants. :-(
So now the remaining two of us are doing our own ride.... Coast-to-Coast, from Pembroke to Great Yarmouth, by fixed gear, in 3 days. The third guy will be acting as a support driver (he'll be driving by then) to carry kit and food for us.
We can't find any record of anyone having done this before, but maybe someone on here will have more of an idea?
And yes, we're doing it for charity and fun, though I don't know the rules of posting links to charity pages on this forum, so I've not done so. If anyone does want to support (or maybe even join us?) let me know.
