Not sure I can make it, but it sounds fun.
Got plans for transportation back, or is it every man/woman for him/her self?
Only fixed century I've done was Tour de Palm Springs and that's pretty flat. I coulda used a bigger gear than I normally run (42x16). There are some hills between LBC and San Diego though, leave the 42x16 on for the climbs or run something bigger?
Would I be ridiculed if I showed up in spandex and with a front brake on my bike?

yeah, you can definitely get in on this! the more the merrier. as far as transportation goes - nothing's been worked out yet. there's an afterparty down in SD, if you're down with that. but as of this point it's every man/woman for his/her self. hopefully as it gets closer to go time, we'll have more details worked out. i'd like it if there was some form of organized transportation. we're thinking about taking the train back, but who knows.
honestly, i've never done a century, much less a century fixed. i'm not sure what gearing you'll be best at. where are the hills you're speaking of? do you know a route from lbc-sd? we're basically just a bunch of kids just kind of throwing ourselves out there and hoping everything works out. none of us have done much research.
spandex is a-ok with us. none of us personally have the balls to wear that stuff, but if you're about that, more power to you. and as far as a front brake goes, that's fine as well. i'm kind of considering taking my road bike, even. so you're one step above me, man.
