Southwark Cyclists’ FAQs: http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/dunwich-dynamo-faqs

Relax: The Dunwich Dynamo is under the London Cycling Campaign’s £5m public liability insurance cover via borough group Southwark Cyclists who help organise the event.

If you’ve booked a ticket, important details about coach ticket collection/logistics:

So we now have 4 Hamiltons Removals lorries and 16 coaches booked to bring roughly 850 people and their bikes back from Dunwich Beach on Sunday.

The trucks for bikes will start loading around 09:00 at the parking in front of the Flora Cafe. When your bike is loaded you'll be allocated to a coach which will leave when the truck, with your bike in, is full. The last departure will be at 13.00. Please make sure you're loaded before then. Don't rely on anyone else dragging you off the beach. Say "thank you" to the driver when you get off.

Bill will be point of contact in Dunwich.
I will be at the start and the London end.

Both of us have decided not to ride this year due to increased numbers of riders we are bringing back.

Pit stops: a surge in local interest and support this year:

* Around 55 miles out the village hall at Sible Hedingham will be  specially opened as usual. You can buy hot drinks and good basic food  there.
* Snacks and drinks at The Bell Inn in Great Bardfield, Dunmow Road, CM7 4SA
* Torque Bikes in Sudbury, Suffolk are going to run a free water and  repair station on route just as you leave the town, behind the Homebase  store.
* Christine McClellan AKA The Flying Chef has booked a pitch at Needham Lakes.
* Bacon Roll/Tea/Coffee stop that collects for Air Ambulance is back. Look out for them at 83 miles, Helmingham, Suffolk.
* And others...
* Oh and The Ship pub at the beach will be serving from 5am!

Forecast: A nice tailwind is forecast for Saturday night. Should be dry, too, after some daytime showers, and reasonably mild.

And please, please, please, for the sake of the locals and the ride’s longevity -
BE CONSIDERATE WHEN GOING THROUGH SLEEPING VILLAGES - DROP NO LITTER + MAKE NO NOISE!

If there are no-shows on the night, some tickets may be available for purchase at the start or end of the ride for £35.

If anyone is feeling jittery and/or wants company from South East London we are doing a feeder ride from Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich (leaves 18:00) via London Bridge (18:30) arriving 19:00 at London Fields.

See you outside the Pub on the Park at London Fields on Saturday!
