Dunwich Dynamo 24th July 2010

[stevevw]

with respect to all concerned, wanting a pan for the veggies and a choice of beers smacks to me of rather abusing Steve's good nature and generosity

I will have two double burner stoves this year and a small single for boiling water. As for beer I think you will have to put up with some sort of larger, Bitter and maybe Cider for the youngsters. And if I catch any of you trying to nick my Guinness there will be trouble.

 

[Tynan]

I stand corrected

 

[Tynan]

can I gently float the idea that perhaps the vans carry a track pump if there's room?

 

[stevevw]

track pump, tool box and spare tubes added to the ever growing list.

And they will have a mobile just in case we need help.

 

[Tynan]

cor

people really should be carrying their own tubes though surely? ditto mobile surely

I was thinking of the people that like 100psi and won't get that from their pump

how mpg will these heavily laden wagons be getting? it's sounding like quite the operation

good work fella, not long to go now, what you and the nearly in law are doing will really nice on the night

I was thinking of the people that like 100psi and won't get that from their pump

I thought I had a weedy upper body, but if you can't get 100psi from a decent small pump there's something wrong with you or it

beat me to it!

 

[Tynan]

I must be dong it wrong then, I've used a variety of pumps and start losing interest at about 80 or 90, that said I'm never quite sure anyway

I wasn't necessarily meaning me anyway

 

[GrumpyGregry]

see oh two?

 

[Tynan]

for anyone worrying about my fitness to compete (will) two brand new tyres fitted today, and the rear an expensive one

and an entire new set of chainring, chain, casette and jockey wheels order to be fitted in time

a long look at the chainring/chain in the bright sun today showed them clearly to be an utter disgrace

if I can scrap up £25 the headset wants replacing too

 

[Andrij]

It'd be more impressive if you did it on a £50 BSO!

 

[Tynan]

erm yes

I saw some of that last year though, saw a bloke well into the ride on a horrid mtb with squeeking and grinding moving parts

I asked him if he'd really ridden this far on it, assumung he was on a mile long hop between two local points

he was most indignant

the chainset is all looky likey cheapo BBB kit though to reduce costs, so that should cheer you up

 

[Andrij]

Apologies, wasn't having a go. Just a bit of late-nite humour that mis-fired.

 

[Tynan]

no offence taken whatsoever, I wasn't really sure what you meant, carry on

 

[redjedi]

I think the local station is a bad idea. Small train with only a couple of bike spaces, and with lots of cyclists waiting, it could be a long wait. They also only come every couple of hours.
Ipswich is 30 miles away, and is the best idea as there are a few trains every hour.

We could ride there or all the way home. Unless there is room for a lift in the snack wagon.
But with so many CCers putting their names forward, I think we'll be riding somewhere.
