Dunwich Dynamo 2007 - July 28/29

I can't find the link on their site for bulk deliveries.. anyone?

photoben Hippy if you have a trailer of Bassets Animal mix I'm staying behind you for the whole ride.

B.A.D. place to be , you'll constantly be bombarded with discarded food wrappers, banana skins etc......could be dangerous

banana skins? What kind of healthy-eating freakazoid do you think i am?!?!
Definitely lots of methane gas though and powerbar wrappers and redundant spit and snot, empty beer cans.. you know.. the usual.

freakazoid!! haaa

haha

wtf?

If I held my breath it'd almost be me.. 'cept for the white gloves n shoes..

Apart from the usual tubes, tools and plasters,

Nurofen - for sore hands and shoulders.
towel - wot? not going for a dip?
Jelly beans - to share
Peanut butter sandwiches - for me

If there's room, I'll pack a small bottle of scotch, to celebrate, and to bribe people who help me fix p***t*r*s.

david you haven't put down the gearing you'll be using
i am hoping it isn't
39x 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 17
52 x 12 / 13/ 14 / 15 / 16 / 17
and it'll be more like 44 x 16 or 45 x 17
in my supply bag it'll be 4x stella 568ml ( the pint sized one ) and a chicken vindaloo that should get me through the night
oh and 44x16

Me? I already said a few pages ago that I'll be in Toronto. Who went and added me again?
It would've been 74.something" 47x17.

Ok so I went and did some "training" today. 50 miles it is to Reading from my place. My advice: bring much food and eat it before you think you need it, or else you're in trouble!

Welcome to Club Bonk!
I was quite delerious after today's ride. Body going hot and cold. Knew I needed sugar and fast. Busted through the door and into some Bassetts Snakes. Saved.

something tells me that it would be a bad idea to do it...i'm starting to have second thoughts...don't really want to chicken out but don't really want to faint on the way or lose 5 kilos overnite....what to do???

Err.. carry food! :)

And don't underestimate those gels and energy bars, they will get you through the times when you're feeling weak. Take flapjacks too.

Eat and drink before you need to, little and often is the rule. Avoiding bonking is EASY providing you do something about it before it happens. That said, it's a night ride, you won't sweat as heavily, so don't drown yourself in water. You'll only need to drink a few litres on a ride like this. So carry something around the 1.5l or 2l mark to get you through, top up at the feeding station.

It's not too scary a ride, just be prepared and take it easy.

I am going to bring two types of food

1. pastys (food of the kings)

2. flapjacks

and maybe some dried bananas.

Sorted.

How do you go transporting these? Hot/cold? Plastic container?

pockets 8^)
