Congratulations! Yes, a dos freewheel with just one chainring will work, sliding just two links worth of drop out, I believe there are 8 links of dropout slide available? The advantage of the double chainring set up is with the dos you get even more range as long as you don't cross chain (depending on the numbers you may or may not be able to. I have three gears available on mine:
40/16 is my high (outside chainline) 32/19 is my low (inside chainline) 32/22 is my ultra low (22 freewheel on the flip flop). Combine that with LCG (lowest common gear, walking) and there ain't nothin' I can't ride! Of course since you live where it is flat flat flat, perhaps gear up to a 48/40 front chain ring? If I was on the flats, I'd want something higher than 40. Have fun! It's a blast riding the learning curve! Grin.
