Dunwich Dynamo 24th July 2010

[Biscuit]

It's a first time for me, after missing it last year. Sadly, I find myself quite excited about the whole experience.

While I'm at it, is anyone making their way back from Dunwich in the general direction of Sudbury the following morning?

 

[redjedi]

Steve, I hope your Son in laws got a bigger van than you, the list is getting quite long

We need 4F and any other locals to bring gezebo's, chairs, tables etc. I have a couple of free standing stoves, so if we can press gang a few cooks we should be fine.

That could be a possibility but I was only intending riding with a small rucksack

no camper van ...

There was no camper van at Dunwich last year Ty. Two chi-chi chefs and lycra clad men mincing around outside!

Gazebo, camping chairs, camping table on stand by.

Standby?

Book them in as dead certs 4F, to be prepositioned the day before with stellas, eggs, bacon and cake packed inside

OK I think I can set up an alternative "Cycle Chat" meal stop en route with a cool box of food and water stashed in a top secret location somewhere between Great Waldingfield and Needham Market to avoid the long wait next year.

I'm just north of Sudbury. So I can do similar to above. If I put this south, say Bulmer, then you can have three food points. Bulmer, Waldingfield, and Needham.
Waddya reckon?

 

[Tynan]

I reckon dead cert, it's cold and lonely and tired out there in the small hours, any sort of solace is welcome, that official stop takes ages and is worse every year as more and more people take part

we can all chip in

To be honest, you're better off simply ensuring you've got enough food with you when you set off, or buy from a garage on the way, such as Epping.

Last year me, User10571, Kats and a few others stood outside the village hall chomping on our sandwiches and watching the line of starving cyclists grow ever longer in front of us. Once finished, and with lighter pockets, we were rapidly on our way.

Much less hassle.

If about 1,000 did it last year, and there's good weather this July, it'll be worse.

Of course if someone were to set up a BBQ in a field with some tinnies, that might be a good idea!

 

[Tynan]

the lure of the stop is somewhere to sit with a cup of tea, indoors with electric lights

standing outside isn't quite the same in fairness to those that queued

it was/is a bit silly though, this event is rapidly getting a bit big, the queue for the cafe last year was absurb, it was nasty the year before

Ok Boys and Girls an update.

I am about to spend a fortune on fixing the CC Snack wagon just for you lot. I have also primed the son in law about being at halfway with a van load of junk food for us. He will then go to Dunwich so we will have two vans and 4F's gazebo for the CC Posse Arrivee

Closer to the ride we will have to sort out what sustenance we want and how many people to cater for.
