Do you guys think it possible to do the fun ride portion of the route on this?
Main thing I'm concerned about is that I don't have a front brake, there's only a coaster brake which is apparently prone to overheating and possible failure if used a LOT. And being that the route is all downhill... ummmmm.. what do you think? Or do you think I'll be cruising the downhills and not actually braking a whole lot?
Next option is to wear some old sneakers as a backup and burn the soles up - foot brake!
Hopefully I don't get too many smart comments haha, cos I'm actually pretty keen to do this..
Thanks dudes!

What it does not show you is all the short, sharp uphill sections. With a fixed gear you'll have your work cut out, but if you're fit and strong, it's doable. There is one or two sections of fast downhill, but if you do not go in too fast, you should be able to go through them without even touching the brakes. The only section I'll be worried about is where you do the 90 degree left turn underneath the bridge and onto the highway. There is marshalls there that warns you to slow down, so if you take heed, no problem.
