This looks like a hell of a fun offer. If I had made the time to do the DD this I would have ditched my plans to do this instead.

Bump for the chap in need.
A singular tandem rider is a sad image indeed.Could you borrow a non-tandem for the dynamo? It'll be just as fun. Possibly.

Thanks Charlotte but I found a stoker, also called Simon. Then I came down with a heavy cold and it will turn to pneumonia or ebola or something if I try the Dynamo so if anyone wants to borrow a fantastic tandem for the event, call me on 07896 921115.

Well, I'm glad its not an issue any more, but I'm sad that you're ill and once again unable to do the ride.
Next year if you're down a stoker I'll step in for sure.
Hi all, I have taken the liberty of starting a new thread although I know there is a good Dunwich Dynamo thread, as I am really stuck.
I need a stoker, or if they want to take turns or ride on the front all the way, I don't mind, for the Dunwich Dynamo this weekend.
Could you spread the word on this, I have tried before to do the Dynamo, I drove down in my distinctive A-team van a few years ago to pick up some mates and throw free inner tubes to people who had punctured but life has always got in the way of riding it; I really want to do it this year: I bought a tandem specially!
I have had two stokers pull out on me for the Dunwich Dynamo this/last week so if anyone wants to try a good Peugeot gents/gents (but fine for a reasonably tall - 5 foot 6 and up I reckon, lady also) tandem with a reasonably fit 57 year old male (but young at heart as they say), please get in touch. I am a pretty experienced cyclist and motorcyclist etc so should be a safe pair of 'bars.
The tandem has been thoroughly serviced and tested, new tyres, brakes, chains, lights mudguard, tools, spare parts, etc, and has comfortable Madison saddles NOT racing saddles. Plain pedals but toe clips can be fitted if you want them.
I will be leaving a car at Dunwich this week so no worrying about getting back by coach or waiting around for transport etc.
I am based in Islington but ride the tandem to Clapham each day if that helps for meeting up for a practice etc.
It is much faster and less effort by tandem, half the wind resistance for one thing, and very sociable...
