66?!
how much can u spin?
the guys on the donut get up to 30-45km/h easy. road bikes are a wonderful thing!
I was running 76, 46/16 and the roadie that i know that had done it fixed, said that would prob be the perfect gear, as he was on 46/17 and found it a bit much.
if you can hold a minimum of say 100rpm even on the climbs, you will still get dropped... unfortunately..
you can do diff routes to help out on the distance,

i only made it to rutherford and keele and i lost sight of the peleton before turning onto keele @ hwy 7.
But maybe if enough of us can get out, maybe we can break into our own slower pack. i know i wouldn't mind!
