ride a metric century on a fixed gear

Bought an old school trek touring frame with lugged construction Reynolds 531 and horizontal dropouts. I’m going to do squats all winter and buy new fixed parts for the bike in spring. hopefully we’ll be doing the brandywine metric in the fall.

I figure Meschter will be back next Sept (God willing) and we should be able to do the Brandywine Metric Century. http://dvbc.org/brandywine.php . Meanwhile I need to rework my fixie to make it worthy of longer distances. I plan to get in shape for it by doing a lot of squats and power cleans!
