2014-07-12 Dunwich Dynamo XXII

Couple of us riding up from SE15.

What sort of time?

Most people are getting to london fields for 8pm from what I can tell.

Unsure what I'm wearing but blue bag and pink hip pouch for sure. Say hi the alpkit is like half full of cereal bars lol

Forecast is better, tomorrow morning looks like it might be a bit damp

My plan to sleep until mid day has not worked...

I was hoping to wake up in the afternoon and find out the weather was going to be fine. Double fail

Still thinking of you lot. Still jell. Have fun. Be safe. Look after each other and most of all, enjoy it!

Can someone local bring a big fuck off marquee to London Fields, please thanks. I'm getting the train down from Cambridge so not really practical for me to bring one.

My plan to sleep until mid day has not worked...

Ditto 9am start was not what I planned, still an improvement from 5 am

Is this the best / will this do as a route :

It seems to have been created by a bloke called Velocio.

Obvs I will take the ride in the correct spirit and only use the Garmin in an emergecy.

roundabout when you leave Sudbury is being resurfaced and is a bit slippery....

as you turn to cross bridge into Monks Eleigh there is a dead pigeon on road

As you turn to Chelsworth at end of Monks Eleigh high street there is a dead squirrel on the road.....

have a great ride....

peace and love,

Tim

Ive only just head about this but i'm really up for it!! Will everyone ride in a big group, as i dont have a garmin or iphone?
Where will eveyone meet? And what time?
I'll also just bring a light tent, set it up there and ride or get the train back in the morning, anyone else doing the same?

Thanks in advance

London fields, about 8pm - people leave at different times. Possible to follow people but pick those who look like they know what they are doing. Prepare for an adventure.

so many different routes... .can someone quote the best one for garmin?

It looks right to me.

If anyone wants some energy gel bars let me know as I picked up a multipack and have far too many.

I plan on just following the crowd and trying to find some forum folk at London Fields. Will be wearing lfgss cap

Apollo. Set Garmin to off road navigation and point if at Dunwich. This way you have the security of knowing you are headed in the right general direction with the joy of the odd wrong turn.

Really looking forward to this and excited for you all.

I'll be helping out at Sible Hedingham with Oliver Schick and SkyDancer. Do come and say Hi in between you gasping for breath and being refuelled.

and cycle safely.

Xxx

Just make sure that you take Framlingham to be Wickham Market and you beat all the queues via A12.

That looks about the same. Pick any, I think.

Guy sounds dodgy to me.

Typical last minute DD prep - attempt to fit rear mudguard on roadbiek. Rear mudguard fouls tyre. Realise I have to use the hack bike which I removed the chainset from on Tuesday. Doh.

Now have a working bike with rear mudguard. Need to go out and buy some ductape to bodge the front, and then to start thinking about packing ...

Does anybody know if we'll have to do that thing that happened last year where we all got off and walked our bikes in a big queue round some obstruction halfway?

Hello,
Not sure how it is organised at the finish in Dunwich, do I need to bring a lock with me?
