Dunwich Dynamo (Sat 16th - SUn 17th July)

[Sittingduck]

Hi

Not 100% sure if I am going to do it but quite fancy it this year! Just wondering who else might be up for it?

Info from Southwark Cyclists site is here: http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/content/dunwich-dynamo

I have only done it once before (2009) and it was very hot and we went off way too fast for the first 30 miles... I suffered. Fancy another crack now though, at perhaps a more realistic pace...

Bought a ticket back from Ipswich.....

I'm hoping to be there, just need to plan the logistics.

 

[ianrauk]

Yup I will be there for the first time..

 

[velovoice]

Second time for me. Looking forward to it!

Not this year. I did it 2001 through 2006 but haven't been back since (it's a long way to go for a ride). I was thinking about it, because I haven't done it on a really fast bike yet, but I'm on standby that weekend. Maybe next year.

Was all signed up, roped in a few mates from work and bullied some others into joining as well.
Then the wife announces that that Saturday will be the day of her birthday BBQ

So having ritually humiliated a few people to get them to agree to do it, on Monday i now have to back-out gracefully whilst still maintaining some vestiges of pride.

Next year though... i mean what are the chances her birthday will fall in the middle of july in 2012 as well?

Because there are so many people doing it, is there going to be some sort of CC peloton in the big peloton?

It usually works out that way, Arnold. Yes, it is an experience, but, at the level of participation it is receiving, lack of facility/support/backup for night-riding cyclists seems a bit of a 'cop-out'.

CycleChat squad members have been superbly looked after by steve vw, in previous editions - a total support pack on wheels. (Two and Four + family).

Rite of passage though... Go for it! And, it is a tun up and ride, ride. Bring all your mates - if they think they're 'ard enough.

Everyone is hard enough to ride down to there...

It's all about cycling back

True, but when you're cycling back, don't forget to leave a 'triangle-shaped' route on the map - not just an 'up and down' - that's boring!

All signed up , tickets bought , bike spaces booked.
And after last night ride feeling a lot better about it.

yep planning to.

I'm doing it, and plan to ride back too. Last year I got as far as Brentwood on the return before a sore foot forced me to give up. This year I shall be trying to get all the way home.

3rd time for me. Ridden back to Ipswich last two years and probably the same this year. Depends how i feel after the Brighton FNRttc.
