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

[Auntie Helen]

Didn't you do Ditchling Beacon three times, though, Will, on an FNRttC?

Just done my final bit of fettling - fitting of bell!

Now we're ready to go! Mudguards included which hopefully means the rain will keep away.

 

[velovoice]

I'll be there from 6.30 helping out (Southwark Cyclists Rides Co-ordinator, dontcha know). Aiming for 8/8.30 departure.

Won't be going fast.

I'll almost certainly be in black merino from neck to mid-calf... on a black Surly Cross Check... with black Carradice saddlebag... uh oh, I detect some kind of subconscious style statement emerging here...

Will look out for as many CC faces as I know, which will of necessity be limited to regular FNRttCers.... so do say Hello as you speed past me!

 

[Tynan]

I'm rather perturbed at being at the head of the list

I've just upgraded the plan on my antique blackberry with a view to updating facebook with progress

My wife is already thrilled at the prospect of pictures of me looking tired and miserable in various parts of East Anglia

Updated:

Some have clearly said they are taking it slowly. Who is up for a faster group...? I'll have been to Brighton and will be riding back so I'll be pushing on but won't be superspeedy.

Depends on how fast fast is, 2009 I did it mid 15's however the first 75 miles was in the 18's and I suffered onwards from there, but was still drinking beer with Stevevw before Tynan and Will arrived .

I will certainly start slower this year and I am sure Will won't let me get away with finishing
before him again.

I would think riding with the dog on is going to slow you down Helen

that's not a Bell! Wait until tomorrow night I will show you a real bell!

 

[Tynan]

have a good look at will at Hackney is my advice, suspect he'll be soaking in a hot bath before anyone else arrives

Perhaps the dog does the pedalling?

Take a good look at that mirror mount. Just discovered it cost me almost £30 from ICE. Needless to say I'd fitted it before I looked at the invoice (and I hadn't asked them when ordering it, assuming it'd be about a fiver or perhaps up to a tenner).

I would expect it to be gold-plated at that price, but hey ho...

I'll also be on a black Surly Cross Check!

Now, where did I put my waterproof socks...

Yep its looking good apart from showers in Hackney to start

 

[joebe]

Been full of cold this week, but feeling better today and very optimistic for Saturday.

Aim to be at pub 7-7:30. Was going to get the overground from Richmond but guess what?.... Engineering works this weekend, so will be coming up from Waterloo. As I don't fancy adding 15 miles to the 120.

Keep an eye out for pink/black De Rosa and shout Cyclechat if you see me

 

[AKA Bob]

Would agree that things are improving on the weather front. See you all tomorrow somewhere along the way. Look out for bloke on a pink and green Brompton!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Do all of you lot have CycleChat jerseys? ThAt's probably the only way I'll recognise you.

You won't put me off I'm still lusting after a trice.
