That was the toughest Dynamo I've undertaken. Zero prep does not make for a great experience. That and picking a slow puncture that lead me to do the middle 30 miles or so on a flat tyre.
The weather was lovely, most riders were fine. Some of the club riders need to learn some manners but they were few and far between. And spotting the Andromeda galaxy was a pleasant treat for a mile or two.
One new item I don't like the look of is the appearance of support vehicles for groups of riders. Two transits buzzing back and forwards for a couple of hours spoilt the atmosphere a bit.
I'm sure with some better prep I'd be a lot happier with it all.
