@xavier853 - Since we've totally derailled this thread anyways, are you a student at OSU in Columbus Ohio ? Reason I ask is there's a 2 day 210mile round trip tour held every year there around memorial day IIRC called TOSRV that would be great to ride fixed, since its mostly flat with just a few minor rolling hills. I used to do it every year geared when I lived in the midwest, before moving to Texas. The tour has complete sag support so you can ride light.
