I love my fixie, but I find it best for rides below 20 miles, for getting to work I often use my single speed (its 35 miles each way). Tomorrow I'm doing the Shropshire hills sportive on it, never done 100 miles & such climbing on it, but feck it, how hard can it be?

was that you on the Tricross/singlecross?

how hard was it then?

Yes

It was harder than I expected,harder than the Dartmoor classic - but I really enjoyed it

Good event though, was amazed to see a single speed at the first feed stop, never thought it was in for the long one. See you next year?

More than likely!

all we will need then is to get Pina down and have a good scrap with his Dad. Years since I did that, happy to pass it on to the younger generation.

:shock:

My Dad wouldn't put up much of a fight. Love to do it but won't be riding up Long Mynd on 39/20 like MM suggested - not many hills in Cambridgeshire. 41.3 inches my smallest (in old money).
