Ladies do Dunwich! (the week before the official one)

So, everyone loves a night ride to the seaside right?

This is the Dunwich Dynamo for those who don't like crowds. We're going the weekend before the official one. Ride to the coast overnight Saturday, have a dip in the sea, some greasy food - then get the train to Ipswich from Darsham then home on Sunday morning.

Need to know:

This ride is approx 120 miles. However, If you've done a 60-80 mile ride before - you can do this
It's fairly flat with a few bumps around Epping.
You can do this fixed.

The pace will be as fast as the slowest/tiredest person at all times

No-one will be left behind - we all stick together

Bring a Garmin if you have one, I have the route I did from 2010 unless someone has a better route -we all should put the same route in the garmins obvs.

Bring a mobile phone with plenty of battery - make sure everyone in the group has your number.

There will be no official feed stops, or places open extra late to feed us
so we'll have to improvise - bring as much food as possible (salty and sweet) and two water bottles and nuun!.
Carb load before the ride.

Bring a tube and tools to fix minor mechanicals and punctures on your bike

Bring good strong lights with batteries to last you overnight (and or bring spares) You will need lights to see rather than be seen, there's a lot of unlit roads.

We'll stop when we need to, if one person needs to stop - we all stop.
Be prepared to pee in bushes!

Bring waterproofs and or mudguards.

Bring your swimming cosy! and maybe a fresh t-shirt/jumper for the end - you'll really appreciate it trust me.

Whilst this is a ladies ride - boyfriends/spouses are welcome as long as they behave themselves :-)

This is a fuck load of fun.
