2011-07-16/17 Sat/Sun - Dunwich Dynamo DD19

^^i'm only doing this ride cause i wouldn't be allowed on the coach otherwise.

#everywhere we go-o, peeeople always ask us, who we aar-re...#

For a moment, this nearly happened:
"Dunwich Dynamo this weekend."
"Really? You can do it if you want?"
"Really?"
"Yeah! We can meet you in Ipswich!"
"I've been off a bike for 4 weeks, we'd have to get the train back/it wouldn't be as nice as the last journey back.I'll be proper fucked"
"Probably a bit daft innit"
"yeah"

Sweet :D Mind me coming back with you? 15ish is cool, I looked at the distance we'd travel in roughly a straight line and simply put, that line runs past sheffield, past leeds and ends up below darlington. You guys still on it? (AM I STILL ON IT!? lol) Should be a good challenge and i wanna see what a year as a courier has given me in terms of fitness...it's also cheaper.

Wherabouts are you heading to?

I'm coming in from Sheffield this time and yes it is pretty much a straight line back. However current plans extend to riding in the direction of Peterborough to turn in 400k and get a train. This is up for some negotiation if other people are about for journey sharing. Not exactly flush but prepared to exchange food and coffee in exchange for company and drafting.

It's next weekend, dude. Does this change things? :) You have a week to not be off a bike for 4 weeks...

Change of plans mean I need a place on a coach!

Hey guys am half thinking about riding this both ways! Would anyone be up for doing this with me?

.

whats going to happen if the forum doesn't put another coach on? what are all the people on the list going to do?
I might be doing this with some random unforummmers and tottering off to Norwich or Ipswich for the train after. 50 km flat after a long sprall on the beach and a big meal sounds doable.

^ This is plan b

^ For me also if I get to Dunwich and decide that there is no way I could face cycling back to London. The other thought that came tome was to head to Cambridge and get the train there!

As far as I can tell, the NXEA Ipswich-London train departs from Norwich. Website says 6 bikes per train from Norwich, reservation required.. vs 4 per train, no res required from Ipswich. Which doesn't quite add up to me.

two different sets of trains, I would assume the 4 per train from Ipswich is on the slower train, as opposed to the fast train that runs through from Norwich

Thinking no bus - no go for me

What's all this faff with the trains? Can't you just stick it on a carriage and be close by so you can move it if it's in the way?

Depends on the train operator and also on the staff who are working on the train on the day that you want to travel. If you get a jobsworth who loves to quote regulations etc. then you may be in trouble. If you get your average train company employee - someone who can't be arsed then you should be ok.

The Norwich to London train (I know it far, far too well) has a guard's carriage. It might officially take six, but you'd easily get more in there. I've also never reserved a space for a bike, in maybe 100 journeys. Obviously DD day is different, but I reckon they'd let you put 20 in there if you were nice and polite.

Thinking no bus - no go for me

Bad times? You coming for 20 miles out of London and back if not?

Will be 48x16 (79 inches?) doable for this route? I’m running a single speed
