After a jaunt in Epping and some dicking around with off-road tandeming, had a nice spin back along the canal and ate huge amounts of Temple of Seitan goodness before wandering amongst the bikes. Left earlyish and made great time to the halfway point for well flavoured but disappointing undercooked vegan beans. After that Kate started feeling very disorientated and sleepy in the darkness and progress got steadily slower and my undercarriage got steadily worse. Made it in good time but never been so nonplussed to see a nice beach. Definitely doing it on a tandem next time.
Seemed a quieter Dynamo than last time we did it, with far fewer interesting/novelty/highly unsuitable bikes. Highlights were the custom righty tallbike and a nice pair of Fern and Meerglas randos.
The Salsa worked great all day though; I've since eaten about 4000kcal of pizza; and having effectively completed a 250+km excursion can feel justified in my opinion that audaxing is just silly.
