2012-06-30 Sat/Sun - Dunwich Dynamo DD20

If you're not going to carry much I would nOt worry too much about which is idea.

Grab the content you want to carry, see how big it look, and pick up any saddlebag your LBS carry.

I did a review comparing the Barley and the Nelson over on YACF might be useful: http://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=22961.0

It also worth noting that it may be necessary to obtain the bagman (or similar) saddle rack to keep it stablised with a heavy load.

the smaller the Carradice, the better - it force you to take what's necessary.

Ed, you've changed.

Don't worry, I'm still running 32c tyres on the Dolan Precursa.

Do many people get the train from ipswich back to london? I'm wanting to go all the way back to manchester but worried i wont get on the train as it changes in london

I do believe now be a good opportunity for me to remind you that Southwark Cyclists accepts no liability. You are responsible for your selves.

I for one will not be fishing anyone's sorry ass out of the sea, rescuing you from wild horses or scooping you off the road. Is that clear?

I might however, have some TCP and/or washproof plasters for grazed limbs. I will also have my phone on throughout the night so can be reached in an emergency.

• i can hear a faint whimper across the forum..
  
  

just to re-assure y'all i'll also be carrying a first aid kit and few essentials, coz i just qualified in a ton of stuff.. CPR and dealing with shit like:-

asthma
anaphlactic shock
electric shock
minor wounds
severe bleeding
heat and corrosive burns
scalds
choking
angina
strokes
cardiac arrest
head injuries
epileptic seizure
diabetes
drowning

hmm, must remember swiss army knife for any amputations

Im riding with you all the way.

Ying and Yang, youre the solution to my crashing

Can I suggest going North to Norwich (about 10 miles) and then get the cross country, some are direct, to Manchester from there? It will be a hell of a lot easier than going south via Ipswich/Liverpool Street ...

As this is going to be my first DD I have a few questions.
What time do poeple normally start appearing at London Fields? I'm tryoing to work out which train to get down and also I know there is no set start time but generally what time do the majority set off?

We left really late last year around 10 but I'd like to leave much earlier this year so I can ride in more of a group.

Jason from VC Norwich is coming down on the train that arrives at 17.55, I'm meeting him at the station and riding over. Possibly with Scoble, if we eat beforehand.

Blimey, the bookies are pessimistic about you making it to Dunwich.

lets see some DD setups!!

That look awesome.

I think I can quickly build up a fixed wheel tourer on time, and riding it on the DD.

Just like last year.

Blimey, the bookies are realistic about you making it to Dunwich.

looks like the bandages have you name on them already..

are you serious?

I might join you, except I just got a framebag so automatically loose all HHSB points.

No, I'm not crazy.

I mean there's nowhere to carry food in that pic, really I'm going to put my basket on.

womwomwomwomwomwom for 100 miles.

I think I may need a frame bag as my water bottles are attached to my saddle. Either that or stuff my pockets full of flapjacks...

If I go fixed I'm going to have bottle cages in the normal places with zip ties + electrical tape to protect the paint, that way I can still take my saddlebag. I guess it might not work so well with your Giant though.

Yeah, the joys of slavery :
