2014-07-12 Dunwich Dynamo XXII

was officially the last off this year i suspect with princeperch from here - 11.20pm. took me a good 13 ish miles i'd say before i saw two people going incredibly slowly on recumbants.

Probably the DD version of the broomwaggon--Patrick Field and Denise Wilson, who are both very much capable of going a lot faster if they're not broomwaggonning.

not sure what all this talk about energy gels and all that stuff is. did i miss the memo? it wasn't a race was it?

A lot of people make the mistake of riding the DD so fast that it's over too quickly, myself included (not this year).

my overriding feeling was of sadness i must admit. seeing energy gels and various other chocolate bar wrappers littered all over the road from literally 20miles out right to the end. couldn't help me question why people were doing this. i just don't get it.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people litter.

then the people wearing rucksacks. i couldn't help but feel sorry for them as well. i was just like whywhywhywhy WHY?!. putting yourself through that much discomfort to carry a rucksack is mental in my opinion. what was so important that couldn't fit in a jersey pocket? i just don't get that either.

When I go to the beach, I tend to carry a towel, which is indeed hard to put in a jersey pocket.
