Done the MS150 the last two years. On my geared bike. I love riding my fixed gear more than my geared bikes. Til they make a requirement for first timers to have x number of the "suggested rides" under their belt, I'm not doing another MS150. Inspect the bikes all they want. It is the "loose tool behind the handlebar" that needs inspection the most.

As you can tell... I have to agree with Houston Biker. There are enough unexperienced riders on that ride to make it frustrating, and sketchy. In no way am I questioning your riding abilities on a fixed gear, I am more concerned for your well being. Especially around those that don't know how to react... AT ALL. Then you have those that ride like they drive, slower the further right they get.
