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

[4F]

Right, slight change of plan possible.

I have my brand new trike - lovely, lovely piece of kit.

It now seems like I should probably do the Dun Run in it to run it in. What do you think?

Sounds like a plan Helen

pirate tattoo?

although you'll have to do the first leg without one

should I manage a return trip there and back seems to be a miserable 380km, tsk

although if you look at the forecast for Sat evening, the ride up at least is going to be very fast and easy

LOL 294 mph tailwind gusting to 352

 

[Flying Dodo]

Wow!

In subsequent years you must've been there with us in spirit...

Actually, I could still be showing my age (as in losing my memory), as perhaps it was 2009 when I did my last one.

 

[Sapper]

Guess I have left it late but surely tempted though need to chat with the significant other first....

[Tynan]

I've left it late too

no ride longer than a commute other than a single Cambridge and barely back early in the year and I'm still tweaking a new possibly unsuitable saddle plus higher seatpost, knees still not convinced by it

Auntie, you don't deserve to have it unless you;re going to ride it, tsk

 

[Auntie Helen]

Train tiket bought to London to the start so I'm doing it. Yikes.

Look forward to seeing y'all although I'll be in Team Slow. I'll wear my CycleChat jersey.

James will come and collect me from Dunwich.

Just heard back from my mate re the air ambulance burger van

"John is planning on the bacon butty stand again on the Gosbeck / Helmingham road in aid of air ambulance. Think he is doing something different with drinks."

What no tea? That was the perfect cup of tea last year, especially as the halfway stop was a bit before half way, it was a very welcome break.

Bacon Butties with a swift pint though might not be a bad idea.

Train Ticket bought. I'm on the 18:30 travelling first class . Arriving in London a little late so I'll be off the train and straight onto the ride. Liverpool St -> Dunwich here I come!!!

Just got to work out how to get home after. If I walk home I might make it in time to leave for work on Monday?

 

[Tynan]

I'm about to try and do a gpx for my poor man's garmin, can someone tell me where the bacon butty stop is? Is 'the Gosbeck/Helmingham road' enough?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Tynan, I have three different GPX versions from User10571 that I can email to you if you PM me your email address.

His versions don't show where the food stop is though, and deviate in three places from the 'official' route with improvements he has found.

There's a couple on here riding/travelling to Norwich I think, will goes somewhere that direction maybe, it has to be better than getting back to London

 

[Tynan]

hmm Auntie, there so seem to be at least some versions about, I suppose sticking on some waypoints shouldn't be beyond me, I've used it twice to follow the bread crumb trail twice, time to tackle waypoints I suppose, they're something of a mystery to me at present

but thank-you
