Doing the ride across Wisconsin again on my fixie this year debating between drops and flats I am also looking into getting some ride farr aero bars for the journey this year. What's everyone's take on style of bars for a 100+ mile ride

Absolutely drops. Being able to switch hand position to use different muscle groups really helps with the fatigue in the arms
God I love this. Wishing you well on your ride!
I’d probably go drops for different positions throughout the ride. Good luck! Sent $10, hope it covers a tube or a snack or something.
Hand positions are so important. For me it’s always the supporting muscles that fail first (back, core, knee) and never the legs (not sure about a fixed century but point still stands). Drops will help so much. Also make sure that the drop position is functional for you, don’t chase the deep drop look and have unusable drops.
drops for life, did the century last year on my red steamroller and it absolutely ripped. but I built up this 10 speed so we can do the 176er without blowing the kneecaps
I applaud you, fixie foo
