Dunwich Dynamo 2017

One treat on the way up will be the new sections of cycle track being laid down on Lea Bridge Road, had a quick go today and they seem pretty good.

Not sure if I'm going to do so I like the idea just turning up at Ipswich. But is there a price surge? As opposed to advance booking

Savoury food ideas? I normally take cheese and chutney sandwiches to break the monotony of sweet things but considering sausage rolls or mini quiche things (yes, poncey but hey)...

Mini pork pies with pickle hit the spot......any of the 'party food' style savoury snacks are welcome, as they are smaller and easier to wrap individually in cling film or tin foil and just grab one at a time when needed....make em look the same, then play snack lottery, for the lolz!

A flask of baked beans with sausages in. Yummy.

Samosas... so good.

Take enough to share/swap!

A couple of boiled eggs, nice and filling and high density so don't take up much room. Bio degradable packing.

I'm a fan of ordering pizza before a dynamo and taking a few slices with me. Works great for the savoury option, and fits nicely in the front of a frame bag. :)

Some strong ideas here. Samosas and pizza current front runners!

samosas are a great shout. going to have a tub of pasta in the pannier too. and flapjacks. lots of flapjacks. all home made.

Samosas are great for on the go. Unlike pizza not the best at room temperature and needs tamarind sauce too. Addicted to that tamarind.....hmmm

Thats my bike next to @hael

It started sprinkling when we left LF, then rained solid until after the feed stop.

Rest of the way was great.

Also:

I am doing another BBQ, beers and beats at the beach.

From around 4 I will be lighting some fires and getting beers on ice.

This stuff is free to the peeps I am coming down with and around £1 a can/roll to anyone else.

Maybe further up the beach this time away from the dorks.

Oh FFS I've got something on this night... another DD missed. It'll just have to be a London > Bath again then :)

Yup... I think I put my jacket on before we'd even reached Epping and didn't take it off again for about 70 miles of heavy rain. My brooks was forced to gain about an inch and a half in length just to stop me sitting on the seatpost clamp. :)

I had all the gear but @jonny , jason and myself were absolutely smashing it and didn't stop till halfway.

I used a space blanket to stop my friend (who didn't bring any weather gear) from going hypothermic.

That was my rainiest Dunwich, the rest have been fine.

I think I must have ridden the route about 8-10 times now and apart from that time, the only other time I got wet was a few weeks ago... And that lasted for about 5 miles.

That scared me!

I've got a ticket back I'm not going to use. An early bird so 24.99.

Driving to Dunwich next weekend.

Setting up a BBQ with beer and beats to greet riders.

Selling cans, coffee, food.

Come hang out with us at the beach (we will be hard to miss).

For a few quid I can bring a bag to meet you (clean clothes, snacks, weed, teddy-bear whatever..).

PM me

Reserve transportation list:
We may have space to return you and your bike to a central London location.

£50 covers transport, food and drink (I can also bring a bag to meet you at Dunwich).

Again PM if you want an update regarding free spaces for the ride home.

I'm interested

Hi all,
A group of friends and I are doing this years DD! - just wondering if anyone has spare return coach tickets/ bike space? (looking for 3/4) Will PM you @|³|MA3K

Cheers,
Matt

2nd dibs then!

Cheers,
Matt

Brother in law is trying to rope me into this. Likely I'll just ride to Dunwich from Peterborough instead as it's similar distance but not set on that (is it worth the train down to London for the legit route??). Well up for beer beats and battered legs on the beach either way.
