Dunwich Dynamo 4th July 2009

[Andrij]

I think the roll call is looking something like this:

SteveVW
4F
Aperitif
RedJedi
Sitting(kingoftheinclines)Duck
Tynan
Will1985
Leyton condor
Oxford guy?
Coruskate?
Andrij?
Davywalnuts?

I'm definitely doing the DunRun, but this year won't be a speed ride. I'll be taking it easy and travelling along with the pair of penny farthings (or is that pennies farthing?). I just hope I get enough sleep after the FNRttC.

 

[Aperitif]

I wouldn't give you tuppence ha'penny for that ride Andrij...

The Woodin Shades outside and left of the Bishopgate exit is a decent enough pub, real ale and you can loaf outside with your bikes, no distance to London Fields from there

I'm on a timetable that involves me going straight to London Fields (goog;e ay 8.1 miles) with an hour or two to spare tops so no lollygagging around Shoreditch or else

How many of us are there?

We could get a little closer to the park before re-fueling. There's The Albion which is on Will's route. It will also make him feel at home

Do you guys want to eat before setting off, not sure if they will serve food?

 

[Tynan]

you're going for food with your new bike?

 

[redjedi]

I'll more than likely be on Aperitif's Look so I don't really want to leave it chained up in central London.
But I'll be having a late lunch before I leave, so I don't mind watching the bikes,as long as someone brings me out a pint and some pork scratchings

 

[Tynan]

yuk yuk

there'll be that many bikes outisde the pub In London Fields you'll struggle to find yours

and plenty fast food in the areas and a pub, can't be beyond the wit of man

Greene King IPA as I recall last tme, plastic glass though, booo

 

[Will1985]

There's The Albion which is on Will's route. It will also make him feel at home

Less of that! There's only one Albion to remind me of home.

I just put that route up as an example - the aforementioned pub was the only one I remember seeing...

Locks, I hadn't thought of bringing a lock.

I kind of thought I would be with my bike for most of the time, but I guess maybe not.

Do you guy's normally lock your bikes at the halfway stop or is it so remote that this is unnecessary?

I will take my small lock as it is in my saddle bag all the time. But I would be suprised if it will be needed. Should be enough of us to look out for each others bikes.

The only thing I am worried about is blinding people following me with the new smart light. It is very bright so may also fit a smaller light for group riding.

The half way stop is not going to an issue as it is very very remote. I would have thought that it could be more of an issue at the start point

 

[redjedi]

You can leave your bike with me. I'll have a thick chain with me and can fit a couple of bikes in it.

But as I won't be using my own bike, and after my recent loss, I won't be leaving my bike un-attended.

 

[Aperitif]

Luke - did you ride last night? Sorted out something for your position? (Apart from standing outside every pub between Londres and Dunwich! ) (Calm down - it's only a bike...)

That's a shame I was hoping to pick up a nice Look on Saturday evening.

 

[Aperitif]

Stick your butt out of the campervan window - then you'll get a nice look...and probs. an offer or two...
