Dun Running? Try Dun Run II - 1st October 2010

Seeing as I missed this year's Dun Run fun, someone (who really ought to know better) suggested to me about trying the route later on, but without the thousands of participants.

So, as I'm rarely able to ignore such a challenge, it would make sense to start on a Friday night, as that way the trains back to civilisation are better on a Saturday. Seeing as September is mainly taken up with FNRttC rides, Friday 1st October seems as good a date as any.

Sudbury has a 24 hour Tesco for a halfway break if required, but we could always investigate the late opening pubs on the route as well.

Who else is interested?

Your rides are always good value Adam. Let's have a bash eh? Clive wanted to do it...and Adrian had to be forcibly restrained last Saturday...

Hmm - I might well be up for another shot.
I won't throw away the route sheet just yet, then!

Oh go on then .

*Checks dairy for birthdays, nights out, bbq's, hoildays, hair cuts....* Hmmmmm, am free, and very interested!

Will there be a food wagon at the end and half way?

No

I believe the McD's at the top of the climb out of Sudbury is 24*7.

No, no, no, not tempted........

Of course I am. If I can get the time off......

If I can get a pass I would love to go again, even an out and back could be fun.

trouble is I have had to promise not to do any more night rides untill next year
We will see

No again they close at 11pm every day. I asked when we did the recce last week.

But Biscuit lives near Sudbury may be worth an ask?

Tentatively raises hand. If I can get a pass and someone explains how to get back via train.

Hmmmm, very tempting. Pencil me in.

They were closed when we passed on Saturday night!

However there must be somewhere that is open, or that might like to open if there are a fair few of us. Maybe when the numbers become clear I could do a bit of research.
Unless of course Biscuit is up for X'ty hungry cyclists descending locust like on his kitchen in the middle of the night!

Two years ago, they were open, last year I wasn't 100% sure. On checking their opening times, it says only open until 11 pm.

However, as I mentioned in the opening comment, there is a 24 hour Tesco in Sudbury, and in fact it's only ½ mile off route, going the other way, away from the McDonalds roundabout.

Put me down for a tentative yes for this......what is the total mileage?

240, there and back!

I'm afraid it's far too early for my bum to commit to another Dun Run so soon. Perhaps it will agree nearer the time

Would we be doing a there and back or would some people be sneaking off to the pub???

Edit: That's a tentative yes
