Ah, the Dunwich. I've ridden it the last three years:
2006 was pretty wet and cold but fun with a good group of 8 friends (none of whom have done it again after 2005 and 2006 were both wet.
2007, when I rode on my own, was fucking awful. Very wet, and I had the wrong tyres - 13 punctures in total (6 between London and Dunwich, 7 between Dunwich and Ipswich)
2008 was dry and lovely but very hard work as I was much less fit than previous years.
Each year I ride to Ipswich so including to/form home that makes it about 170 miles in total. Not sure I can do it this year as my wife is due to have a baby on 08 July! If the baby is early and I am allowed out of the house (VERY unlikely), I'll hopefully do this, but will definitely extend my route to either do 300km or 200 miles.
