Good luck everyone .
As some one whose only ever done the DD in the wet then can I strongly suggest you bring a spare pairs of socks to change into. Every thing else seems to dry out execpt your socks.
Wool is better than cotton and in terms of stuff carried less is more ; rely on Chap Nav and not GPS
Alex ,James and Ed is this the first time for you ? If so then have a great ride . The DD I enjoyed most of all was my first one in 98 ; it was then I discovered that cycling through N essex in the dark can be quite magical, especially the point @ N Weald when you finally hit the countryside and darkness.
If I am back from Sadlers Wells then I ll try and look out for you at the top of the Lea Bridge Rd.
