Well, we are covering a lot of territory in these posts and gears to go with it, really goes to show riding fixed isn't that strange after all. Anyone checking, what areas have we not had replies from??? How about most extreme, north south east and west, counts me out as I'm bang in the middle.
I'm in SW London but I've done Putney to Cambridge and back many a time. I've also gone North West up to Chalfont and then (The Severn Across 400 Audax) over to Chepstow (via Stow-In-The-Wold and Tewkesbury) and then back via Malmesbury and Membury.
Separately I've done the Bryan Chapman 600 Audax (Chepstow to Menai and back via Snowdonia), so that's quite a bit of Wales covered.
I've also done Putney to North Berwick (via Cheshunt, Lincoln, Thorne, Coxwold, Alston, Longtown, Eskdalemuir, Dalkeith, North Berwick). That was a 3 day warm up to doing Cheshunt to Dalkeith and back in 5 days on London-Edinburgh-London 1400km Audax. That's bits of the midlands and North East done.
Dorking to Hackney (via Box Hill) and then the Dun Run out to Dunwich in Suffolk, and back to Putney (to make it into a 400km ride). That covers the South of East Anglia.
Putney (up to Cambridge and back) then down to Royal Tunbridge Wells then Bethersden for the start of the Flattest Possible 300 Audax around Kent (down to Hythe, Rye, Bethersden, Frant, Rye, Hythe and back to Bethersden). South East. Yep.
All of that was on 67" fixed.
Only done the SW (Putney to Honiton) on the geared bike. Also took gears for the Peak District (Sutton Coldfield to Holmfirth and back as a 300km "Grimpeur" Audax).
So we need someone from the Midlands and North West, the South West and most of Scotland.
