don't need a lock. if you are stopping somewhere there will be other cyclists and apart from the first bit of the journey there is nowhere to buy anything anyway once the pubs shut until you get to the feed station.
riding back? you will need more than red bull :-)
I really meant for the riding back bit. There won't be quite so many other cyclists around, and I'll be horrendously sleep-deprived, so likely to do something silly, like wandering off and forgetting I even own a bicycle, much less where I left it.
When I put it like that it seems obvious that I should play it safe - but I still kind of want some gnarled old veteran to come forward and tell me that they've ridden three Dun Runs back to back, in the rain, with no sleep and no locks, and that I'll be fine. It is a very heavy lock...
