  • i don't see what all this fuss is about.. it's a great ride all round. why would you want to spread the load and thin the numbers out? what would that do? apart from dilute every aspect of it. if anything, we are safer in high volume - from the drunks, the chavs and the crazy cars.. all of which are really a tiny weeny spec on the whole event. fucksake, i'm affected by drunks and chavs and drunk chavs and crazy arsehole drivers at least once a week anyway - they're everywhere. we can't control these things.

    you know.. kids have to wear safety goggles when they play conkers at school these days and that's If they are allowed to play with them.
    fucking ridiculous antibacterial wet-wipe society we have evolved into is Killing me.

    leave the DD alone.

    rant over.

    thank you.

    Top ranting!

    Totally agree. The DD is great because it is so big. One never feels abandoned, because there is always someone ahead and someone behind. I would have hated it if it was an exclusive event for the snobby roadie who insists it blast along at 20mph. So what if people get off and push? Hills are shit, so getting off your bike and pushing it is an entirely reasonable reaction to them. (By the end of the Dunwich though I was so knackered I was pushing my bike up slopes barely bigger than dropped kerbs!)
