70 Miles On A Fixie

Feeling a bit tired this morning, did the Help For Heros New Forest Challenge yesterday, which worked out at 70miles.
Why take a bike with gears I thought to myself, so I took the fixie, which in hindsight may have been a mistake. Still, I completed it in a touch under 5hrs (including 3 "refreshment" stops so I'm really pleased.
Met a really friendly bunch of people, I recommed doing a H4H bike ride if you get the chance, they feed & water you really well, even had a hog roast waiting for us at the end.
Now, with a little more training I think a three figure ride on the fixed should be pretty easy.
