shame - i have a 6am start time, and although was originally going geared but as my geared by isn't fit for purpose I'm going fixed for the first time - little bit nervous, but also excited. Did it 5 hours geared last year although had a later start time, and a heavier bike, so will be interested to see how I do.
just changed up a cog from 42x16 to 42x15 so hoping i'll be ok. Sofar I'm noticing the increase in speed more than anything else, and the hills this morning weren't too bad..
