A return to this question. Anyone else done it fixed? I am doing it next year, but at a very leisurely pace (14 days! and they carry our crap) 'cos I'm accompanying my old man, who's basically doing it before he can't any longer. So I figured fixed would make it more interesting for me... So I'm mainly asking if there are any climbs that aren't feasible fixed, or if you have any gearing recommendations. The miles should be easily doable at that pace.
Quick edit to say - I've had a couple of knee ops so the hilly stuff is what I'm most curious about...
