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

[tmcd35]

Well Aunty Beeb recons the rain'll stop today by about 7ish tonight and then resume around 4ish tomorrow afternoon. I call that a window of opportunity to get out and get wet finding all the puddles in the dark

I can't come out to play this year, what with my youngest inconveniently turning 4 and expecting me to be around to celebrate it tomorrow, but I have hopefully arranged A Cunning Plan (assuming I get the right platform at York station this afternoon and that my cake courier is near the train door waiting to catch) to get CrinklyCake down south and delivered to the YACF Team Slow gang that I rode with last year.

They might have enough to share....

Ibupofren/parectamol losts of water and I will decide at 1pm if I'm coming or not.

OK It's down to a dull ache, I have full movement in the ankle again and I hope it will get better on the train. We are ON!

I'll see you all down at the fields, with my boss and my cousins

1st DD... Do I need to sleep now? (Cheating?)

Got a decent kip last night, but how wiped am I going to feel while riding? I'm 29, fit, healthy enough, it'll be my first century but all I'm worried about is needing sleep in the night.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Just in bed now for a two hour nap but I doubt it'll work, I can never sleep during the day. And the rain drumming on the veluxes desn't help!

 

[Baggy]

You could always have a little snooze now...
Everyone is different but am sure you'll be fine. The fact that your body is moving seems to keep you awake, and you'll probably be riding with people. It's much easier than having to sit on a sofa and keep your eyes open all night! I tend to feel a bit weary at about 2 a.m, but perk up again as the sun comes up.

 

[Sittingduck]

Agree^ It's the early hours that will be the test. Come 4am, I will be getting my second wind...

right bailed from cycling to Ipswich and got the train here instead. didnt fancy getting drenched this early in the day. Now waiting for the connection to liverpool street. it has just finally stopped raining over this side of the country and looking quite bright . fingers crossed x eta London Fields 6 onwards ish

 

[Auntie Helen]

Hi 4F, i'm booked on the Norwich train which gets to LST at 6pm so I may see you there. Rain has stopped here.

 

[Aperitif]

Yeah - good luck everyone, particularly with the weather. Interestingly, although the same density, the rain in London early this afternoon was markedly warmer than the stuff that was scything through everyone's soul atop Ditchling Beacon this morning - truly horrid conditions and I hope you get better... a "Well Dun"
Anthony - just mtfu ok?

 

[4F]

ok Helen may loiter a bit at the station so may see you there

 

[Sittingduck]

Anthony - just mtfu ok?

Oi, I saw that teef! I will try my best

 

[PoweredByVeg]

Just relaxing round my sis-in-laws watching the TdF for inspiration.

Fingers crossed for the weather.

Eating as much pasta/rice/curry/cheese rolls as I can stomach

Aunty Helen, I'll tell my mate to look out for a lady with a trike, he's getting same train from Norwich
