Dont worry about it not being a compact, I bought a second hand Ribble Bike with a TT set up 53/39 and I get up the hills just makes you stronger and faster on the flats.My mates have never beat me up a hill yet, mind over matter.
And for doing the Blackpool Ride it is a must only started riding last year after a 30yr lay off and really enjoyed it on a mountain bike last year. This year on a roadie cant wait bring on July 4th.0 -

You go from Old Trafford towards worsley then on to leigh and then on towards preston.
The hard bit was 6 mile from the end, on the prom from Lytham St Annes the headwind was unbelievable 4 hours 60 mile, 40 minutes for 6 mile. I didn't think my mountain bike had a reverse gear. lol0
