Yes she did. 2 weeks notice before she started her new job down here, rather than having to get out of Liverpool quick smart.
Thinking about this (Dun Run II) on the bike in, this morning. ( My alternate ride that weekend is the Dusk Till Dawn at Thetford.)
i) The MTB boys are still titting around deciding whether the D2D will be teams of 2 or 4 and if everyone wants to share the gazeebo etc.
ii) Thetford riding always makes my back ache, there's just no rest on any of the sections.
iii) Despite being in a relay of 4, you still won't get any kip while the other 3 do their laps in turn.
iv) The dunrun with gears would be good, plus I could swim, which I didn't last time, and now regret.
v) The route comes past my house near enough.
vi) There wasn't a vi).. I'd arrived at work by then. I'm a slow thinker.
So I was thinking perhaps I might do this.....
Pick up with the peloton as it goes through Sudbury. Actually if you want to divert using Stevevw's handy route, you could come right past my house ( half way) around about 1am. This has several benefits.
i) it allows me to join in the back of the peloton with bugger all effort, and it's only 60 miles to Dunwich, which means I may have some chance of making the 60 miles back again in the morning.
ii) you all get fed, coffee'd, use the toilet etc halfway. I'm thinking soup, bacon rolls that sort of thing.
iii) anyone doing the double gets the same treatment on the way back to either Londinium or Herts.
iv) Nethergate brewery are based in my village.
As an alternative I could bike to Sudbury for the first part, loaded down with sandwiches in a rucksack, and meet you all there??
Any takers for this shining example of clarity on the bike thinking. Or is it all tosh?
BTW Oct 23rd is a Sat and a full moon.
