Curious - did you ride the RW24 fixed? Solo or team? I've done is 6 times including tandem, team A, team B but would never dream of doing it (competitively) fixed. Yikes. I did a number on one of my knees the first year I rode tandem and couldn't imagine riding that solo on fixed.
i rode B on a steel, geared roadie. but my teammate's bike had mechanical issues, and watching the FG guys FLY by down Humboldt in the dark looked awesome. it all got me thinking.
also, i know i'll suffer after the race is over regardless. may as well max out the fun in the process
