Still quicker than getting the coach. Just stepped in the door despite getting there at 6.
There was a big game of chicken in the narrow lane out of Dunwich between one of the coaches and a horse box coming the other way. It tried to squeeze past but ended up wedged against the bus. They ended up taking the horses out of the trailer and lifting the trailer up the bank. Luckily there were some energetic cyclists on their final approach to the beach, caught up in all the blockage, who managed shift the trailer enough to resolve it. I don't know how they found the energy.

The way to do it is how brixton cc did it. Rent your own coach and once the hold is full just bring the bikes on to the passenger area. Loaded and gone and home in 4 hours.
I'm not saying I'll never use the coaches again but would definitely be looking at alternatives for next tjme

It's always fun seeing all the riders heading to the beach when you ride back to London, but fuck me I'm destroyed!
I had a 6h 17m ride there, and somehow still managed to get back in 6h 27m despite following a route that had several fuck ups in it that I didn't realise. 🙄
20 minutes of stopping time going, an hour coming back, although some of that was trying to sort a slipping brake lever and find water when nowhere was open.
Everything hurts, but I'm glad I proved to myself that I'm still just about capable.
It's definitely more fun riding with at least one other person.
The ride back was really hard without that bit of support you get from riding with someone else.
